Been quite busy the last week in Florida and getting caught up at work. Below is a recap of the past few days and the fun times that were had :)
Wednesday - Hit the track and the pool at the NTC in the morning (awesome facility). Interval bike in the afternoon with Blake.
Thursday - Beautiful weather in Clermont and a perfect day for an early morning swim, long bike ride with some of the girls from the Timex team and a shake out run in the afternoon...great conversation and look forward to seeing all of them back at camp this weekend. Met up with the parents and grandparents for dinner in the evening. So nice to see each of them.
Friday - First open water swim of the year in the weird colored Florida lake. Went surprisingly well and felt pretty comfortable. Long run in the later part of the morning and then packed up and headed to Auburndale to stay with the folks. Went out on my grandpa's boat later on with my mom and dad to spot alligators on the lake and totally found a 15ft monster sunning himself on the shore. My grandpa had to go like 5 ft from it until he jumped into the water and almost tipped the boat over - okay, not really, but I'm pretty sure my dad had a mini heart attack!!!
Saturday - Headed to St. Petersburg in the early morning to ride the bike course and test out swimming in the ocean for the race on Sunday...again, I thought the salt water would be a lot worse...I think I'm finally getting over this crazy swimming ridiculousness. Chill afternoon with a run around the lake and a fun dinner at my mom's cousin's place in Tampa. Late night, but fun night.
Sunday - Race in St. Pete (750m swim/20K bike/5K run) all women!!! Great swim, crappy bike, decent run...4th overall and only 25 seconds from 2nd place and 4 seconds from 3rd. Long recovery run afterwards which felt really good. Relaxing rest of the day and a good long nap! Packed and hung out with the rents for the last night in town.
Monday - Early trip to the airport and easy flight to Denver. Hit up the 12:30pm masters and then did quite a bit of work to catch up at home...SUPER TIRED.
Tuesday - Lots of work to do at the law firm and then an easy shake out run up the Canyon. Built up the bike and headed out to ride Super James...not too bad and actually turned out to be quite nice outside. In to work for a bit afterwards and a big trip to the grocery!
Today - More work at the law firm in the morning, killer swim afterwards, a little work at the restaurant, then a long and somewhat painful ride out to Carter Lake and back...let's just say I was going 40mph coasting on the way out and well, barely doing 8mph coming back...just a little windy :)
