Back in the groove...

Time to get use to the 5 AM (or earlier) wake up call again. With 90 or so days left in the season for me, there is really no reason to skip a work out. Or even put one off until later that night.

I decided to switch from the Master swim class on Tue / Thur mornings to open water swims in the evenings on those days. No matter how many times I do it, I am still not 100% comfortable out in the middle of a lake. I think a few weeks of work at Kill Creek before Pig Man and then a few more before Red Man will pay off in the long run.

Not growing up as a swimmer all the mornings in the pool can really take their toll on you.

Ryan (see Team Madison blog link on the right) and I are making plans for 08. Looks like we are both going to solo Brew2Brew in April (46 miles), then I will compete in IM Louisville in Aug and we are both going to run the Chicago Marathon in October with hopes of going sub 3:10:59 and getting into Boston the following spring. I am guessing I will find a few 70.3's to mix in for good measure.

9:46 PM...time for bed.

And according to the "Real Record" you are making plans, Ryan is dreaming about them but there is no consideration in sight as no discussions have been held with the boss! Ryan Ironman = NO MORE WORK TRAVEL!
