89th Harold Webster Memorial Race. The plan was to cruise from the start to the bay on the nasty downhill. Pick up the pace a bit on the Waterfront Trial, up the first hill and then pick up the pace on Longwood to Chedoke. After Chedoke, the plan was to try to maintain pace on the tough downhill sections to the finish. Worked out pretty good. The trail and downhills sections were slower but the uphills went well. Beat my times from the last two years and this may be my best time since they changed the coarse from the out and back on Main to the present more fun coarse. Burn - 1190 kcal.

MTC Spin with Coach John. Similar sets to Sunday with variations of high cadence, high power and recovery cycling.

MTC Swim with Coach JJ. Warm up - 400m back every 4th length, 8 x 25m fist/swim, 4 x50 build/back 24 x 25m 8 side kick, 4 side switch, 4 side switch 3, 4 catch up, 4 swim. Main set 6 x 150m descending 1 to 3, 8 x25 kick with fins and board, 6 x 150m pull, breathe 3,5,7.

MTC Spin with Coaches Lilly and John. Swim life guards never showed up so we got on the bikes early. (Other morning swims were canceled and the C. of M. forgot about us.) Too it easy for the first hour keeping HR below 110 to save myself for the class. Lilly lead us in high cadence sets of 4:00 at 110 rpm, descending in time and down the rear cassette. John took us on alternating high cadence, big big gear sets to develop power. Thought my left calf was going to go at one point but no problem. Legs were tired after the run but made it through okay. Last set was tandem racing. Stewart besides me was much stronger. Burn - 1350 kcal.
