Ran the Green course at QOC Patuxent meet. No problems with the first few controls today. I really only made one serious mistake that was going to control 7 and ended up too far up the stream and had to double back to the correct re-entrant. I thought I ran some good legs but we'll see how the splits look when they come out.

Green - Splits

Road ride.

Upper body weight training.

Bike back and forth to work. Got cut-off by a school bus driver on the ride in who actually opened his school-bus door at the next stop light to yell at me telling me "you ain't no car, you dummy!". I guess to him cyclists should not even be on the road meaning he probably cut me off intentionally. And this is a school bus driver! I'd like to see him ride a bike to his day job: waiting in line at the unemployment office.

Very hard run around the Hobbits Glen / Swansfield route. I was pushing hard on the back part of the course even though it was hurting. I found myself still going and not crumpled on the sidewalk so just kept pushing. Felt like improvement over the last time I ran this course.

Later: After looking up my times from this course in past, I found my best time to date was 41:27. So, I beat that by almost two minutes today.

50 lengths at the pool at noon. Was going to do just 44 lengths but decided to go to 1.25 K today. I could tell I was doing some extra distance because I was getting tired near the end. Longest swim so far.

Got off work a little early so took advantage of the extra daylight and went for a road ride. Great weather - mid 50s very light breeze and sunny. I felt very good. Tridelphia loop. Pushed it up the final hill on Homewood Rd and did not drop below 14 MPH on the climb.

Upper body weight training.

Abdominal workout after weight training.
