Another Thursday has passed, and another S&S completed.  Turned out to be great weather again, a bit choppy in the water, but made for a great challenge.  Rode to the Rez again, it’s a good warm up.  Get there, throw on the wetsuit, and get in the water as soon as possible.  This has been helping me get into the race rhythm quicker at the start.  Solid swim, faster than last week by 17 seconds, I’ll take it.  Got big goals on the swim for these short races on Thursday.  In my mind, there is no better race simulation for the swim than these Stroke n Strides.  Lots of people, late in the day, weather is always up in the air, and you just don’t know who will show up.

Run was ok, need to come back down on intensity, might even skip next week’s run and just swim.  8 weeks till 5430.  Time to buckle down.

BSG and Brian James were out there last night racing.  Good to see famaliar faces…and Tim dropped by as well.  Looking fit and fast as ever, with worldly advice that just seems to make sense.
