Just an Average SKIRT

After resurfacing from the best birthday hibernation ever I started the day with 2850 yd swim. Long pre-sets - 300 focus on consistent kick, 300 focus on swimming downhill, 450 focus on full rotation. I was able to zone out and glide through even though I felt like a tank (a little heavy in the water today). Main set was 500yds Z3 then 8×50 Z3 at consistent pace. Speed was not my middle name but consistency was, I nailed each one of those 50s on the nose each time. Exactly the same time for all 8. I love the long sets of race pace stuff…not cardiovascular hurt just get in the zone and go.

Followed up the workout with a visit to the accountant, we have a good feeling this year, hoping not to do the major bend over for the feds (maybe just a little bend over). We’re still a little sore from last year’s antics so we’re hoping for the best. It is days like today that I envy the ‘9 to 5 get a refund people’ but the remaining 364 days in the year, I wouldn’t trade my flexibility for anything.

Worked for the college then saw clients in my practice. I feel rested and recovered, just need to hang in for another 10 days until I get my next stabilizer. I’m realizing that training for ironman is going to be very similar to racing ironman. Instead of just making to the next aid station, I’ll be making it to the next stabilizer. That’s training in and of itself folks.

Good Night, Sleep Well.
