Sunday morning run! Less than a week away from our 10k and 13 days away from my sprint triathlon. Probably my last run before the next two races, more swim training this week and at least one more bike ride before the triathlon.

Feeling better about swimming each time I go and practice. Becoming more confident about the open water swim, obviously day of race will probably have a higher heart rate as well as a slower pace due to some race day anxiety and it being open water not a pool. More swim workouts to come, 10k run next weekend, one more short brick workout this weekend. Otherwise 15 days until it's race day.

3 minute run 2 minute walk for 6 rounds. Running pace was between 7.5 to 9 minute mile time for each running interval. 1.5 weeks until we have our 10k and 2.5 weeks until I have my sprint triathlon. Been going to the rec center this past week to practice my swimming, going again this evening to get some more laps in and hopefully stop water boarding myself 😅 by @mattrideswell

I'm ready to live on the beach. I've alwsys said I prefer the mountains, but there's just something about being on the beach that feels so right. Little 3 mile run down the island.

Felt like the fastest land animal on the island! After learning what it meant to grind some gears in the group ride, I ventured off on my own. Found a good rhythm and tried to stick to it.

First time riding with a group and what a time it was! Learned a lot on this ride. Had a great time on vacation happy that I brought the bike, wish I rode it more but 🤷‍♂️ is what it is. I definitely didnt go off into a pile of sand on the way back 😅

Garage gym in Texas is like working out in hell.

Its Wednesday my dudes! Here's an update for this week. Monday was strictly weight training, chest and triceps. Tuesday hit back and biceps then went on a easy interval run for 6 sets of 5x1. Tonight's leg night and tomorrow I'll take the bike out for a spin to check everything after the tune up I had done at REI. by @mattrideswell

Easy 4 mile run to start off a beautiful Sunday. Had 1 carb drink that had 35g of carbs and about a half cup of oatmeal before the run, after the halfway point I had a gel that was 45g of carbs, felt pretty good overall. Were the carbs necessary for the run probably not, but I have to train my gut for the upcoming sprint triathlon some how so.

2nd flat for my rear tire. This time I couldnt fix it though. I thought my CO² cartridge had enough charge, but sadly that was not the case. Luckily I was close to home and my wife was able to pick me up!
