My new job, as you can see it doesnt pay well.

What a day

Another long day at the Wheelercamp, 115 mile ride and 8 mile run.
7:02 total training hours for the day. Not to bad. Yesterday was a 2
hr shit show of a ride 13.3 mph avg, I was pretty wrecked from
Tuesday's big day.
So, as you can see I have started my life as a fake pro. I say fake
for a few reasons.
1- I'm to slow to be pro.
2- I still work 25 hrs a week.
3- I can't sleep in till 8:30 work out, nap, do a 90 min ride, get a
free rub down and then go get a free bike.
4- did I mention I am to slow?
Anyways tomorrow is the 2 and 2 which will have me walking into work
late again.

Garmin

So I broke down and bought one on Sunday.  With REI's price, it was very hard to pass up.  I used it today while out running and its cool to see your pace at that very second.  I think it will help with pacing on the long Z2 stuff, mile repeats and the 2 x 5k which is right around the corner.
Wow yesterday was pretty windy and cold, for some reason I was a dumbass and didn't dress well for the type of weather and was frozen 2 hrs in so I had to cut the ride short by 10 mins and then I was onto the 35 min ZR transition run, with gloves and a hat!!! in MAY!!!  The good news for the day I was able to use my cliff bar hot chocolate mix, ummmmm.
Today I threw down a 5000 yards swim broken up into various 200's.  Then I had to drive to school for my last final, intro to computers, a joke of a class if you ask me, so I hammered the final, came home had 3 eggs and an English muffin, then it was a 2.5 trainer ride with 8 x 2.5 BSE ( Best Sustainable Effort) 2.5 mins EZ.  I am not sure what sucks more BST's or BSE's.  BST's hurt like a half ironman, the pain creeps up until its unbearable, then you still have 3 mins left, whereas BSE's especially 2.5 mins, hurt like hell from the beginning.  I used 295 watts through the first 4 and 300 for the last 4, not rock star numbers but  remember its an even effort throughout. 
Then onto the 50 min, 7 mile, Z1 run. Good stuff and a solid day in the Wheelercamp.

Golf

The more I think about taking up golf the better it sounds. I mean you
only play when its nice out and you can drive a cart. Why am I
thinking about golf you ask, well because 4 days after a Half ironman
where I dug pretty deep, I am going doing the 6 and 60. The qt2
ironman prep workout. 6 hrs on the bike and a 60 min run.
The first 5 hrs went good, then it went down hill quick. I couldn't
stay in Z1, hell I was able to get there, my mind started to wonder
and at times I was just going through the motions. Because LP doesnt
care if I wanted or didn't want to be out there, of only care if I
was. Did I mention the first 3 hrs it was pooring rain. Then came the
run, nothing special to report here, got it done not super fast but
I'd done. Atlest I have a week before it starts all over again. Today
is the 2 and 2. I am almost done with the ride, then I have to take a
Spanish final, come home run and go right to work and stand for the
next 6 hrs. Did I mention I hate my job and can't wait to leave?!!!
Anyways... See you at the links.

Devilman

Went well. 4:16:22. It was a pretty quick course with lots of wind,
mostly a headwind. Once on the run my goal was to run 6:15 pace for as
long as possible. I went between 6:05 and 6:10 for the first 8 miles
mostly because I knew Cait was hunting me down. After mile 8 it was a
struggle to hold pace with the said headwind, but I was able to
average 6:21. The run course was about half mile long. I was able to
hold off Cait, we ran almost the same pace so we both blew up t the
same time.
Qt2 kicked ass 4 guys in the top 10 and the womans overall win.
Everyone had a PR. Training protocol, I think so.
As a side note there is one athlete who I believe J krops could make a
world champion but said athlete would never leave their coach, sadly.

Devilman

Is only a few days away and I feel terrible. My swimming is at its
worst, bike and run paces are slow as hell.
So we will see how it goes??
