Did a bike/swim brick. Had breakfast and went out at 10:30 so I could hit the pool after it opened at noon.
Felt about as good as I ever had on the bike. I did the Utah Lake/Lincoln beach route. I always fly down, but coming back is always much more difficult. On the Garmin I averaged 21 MPH, with the heart rate of 163. I went about full speed--which is my typical bike training speed. I do not get over 25 miles in, and even over 18 for that matter so I am trying to train to not bonk after 18. I need to conserve my legs the first half of the bike, so I can be more aggressive on the second half. I just feel so good and start going fast. GU after 30 min on the bike will help too
Getting in the water to swim was weird. The water felt thick. I have never felt that before. After swimming open water and in a wet suit--or perhaps after biking (I have never swam tired). My time was OK of the 800 (15:52). I did set a record today on my 50m. I hit 45.10. I did not breath as much. I think my fastest time before was 46. I remember when my fastest was 75 sec. I do not even do 75s using the fist gloves now.
Bought some new googles that were a piece of crap, so I went to the speciality swim shop and bought the cool socket rocket type goggle. Hopefully they will not leak.
