Today was a good day. No wait today was a great day. The first workout that I did today was crossfit. I did a workout called "Randy" which is named after LA SWAT officer Randy Simmons who was KIA in LA about two years ago. So in Randy's honor we do 75 power snatches at 75 lbs. It's an ass kicker just like all the other named workouts. My time was 8:52 and I was smoked.

After lunch I did my weekly brick workout. My ride was great or at least I felt great the entire ride. I'm working on getting faster on the bike. Hopefully all the extra work will pay off on 29 Aug 2010. Anyway, I rode the bike today for 50 minutes and covered 15.93 miles for an average speed of 19 mph. That is just short of my ironman goal. Of course the Ironman is 112 miles and not 15.93 miles. But hey I'm getting closer. After doing a quick change into my running gear I headed out for a nice sunny run. I did 30 minutes and covered 4.30 miles for an average pace of 6:59. I am definitely getting faster on my runs.

I started doing my runs and bikes at mid day since that is the hottest part of the day. When I finish my Ironman bike and start the Ironman run it will be around 2pm and the hottest part of the day. I want to get my body and mind ready for the August heat in Louisville before I get there. I'm heading back to FL next week which will give me more chances to excel in the heat and humidity.

Life is good!
