turn radius...
i've got nothing to say about anything related to a turn radius, the words just popped in my head. that is something i like to do with non-urgent work emails. like to the it department. if i put "can't log in" in the subject, i get squat from them in terms of help (or if i do, i get help 6 hrs later...real nice). but, if i shoot them an email with "burn up in the atmosphere" in the subject, curiosity must force them to read the note--possibly thinking it is nonwork related--and i get help right away (like i send any of them non work related anything). this really points to one underlying fact.......i work with a bunch of idiots. doesn't everybody though?
so...no post yesterday. monday i spun some recovery into my legs, it pissed rain and blew me around the road so i ended up going harder than i would have liked, but i didn't see a soul on a bike so maybe that means i am tougher than some of my opponents? maybe. or maybe i'm just stupid.
i don't like looking past 'A' races, but i'm going to state my major goal for the summer season. run speed. i keep thinking about how slow i was this past weekend. now, i never expect to run sub 6's at the back end of a triathon, but for the love of god i need to be under 7. not really much i can do about it prior to auburn (run what you brung) but by pigman i plan to have this addressed. and i really don't see any reason i can't be slightly under 7min/mi for ironman 2006. never too early....
i did something a little different last night. i want to get used to pushing through feeling like crap, so last night i picked one of my more hilly run routes. warmed up for 15min, and than ran 3x(10m hard, 5 min easy). and i ran the hard really hard (relatively speaking). the last one hurt (finished on an uphill).
blasted the swim this morning....main set was:
3x [12x25yds (20 sec on 30), straight into a 6 min swim (3min steady, 3min hard)]
total: 4300 yds
30 minutes of pretty hard swimming with essentially no rest. coincidentally, i'm hoping to swim auburn in about 30 minutes. thanks coach jack!
i hope everyone has a great day (except the it department here).
