I lifted in the morning, after sleeping in. Then I felt good enough to do a recovery run. I was still sore from Saturday. I ran 3 miles at 8 min then I visited the crapper. . . after that much of a rest, my legs felt better. I ran a 7:40, 7:20, 6:47 with finishing on the last mile of the MVP run. I felt great all day from the run (not from the visit to the crapper).

I added push ups to my lifting. So I do back extensions, sit ups, three way neck, trapezius pull with the bands, glute lift on stability ball and wall squats with the ball. All lifts are critical to keep me moving!

Were you able to catch the men's Olympic Tri online ? It should have been available at a more reasonable hour for you. There was no commentary, so I did not know anything about the competitors. But the race came down with 4 guys side by side with less than a 1/4 mile to go. Very exciting finish. Even if you missed it, you can probably find it online still.

My computer had a hard time getting on live feed. I tried to watch the ladies, but just saw the results as real time results. I just saw the results of the men after.

Was drafting legal in the Olympics? It looks like they all came in a pack and then it was the best runner wins. The male winner ran his 10k in 30 min. I was impressed!!

The woman winner ran a 33 10K.

I did not know any of the competators. I think I saw one professional tri when that Hunter from USA competed.

I have only done a tri once. But I remember there were strict rules against drafting. But from what I saw they were doing it. I had to get ready for work during the last half of the bike. They were all together then. I caught the whole run though. It was a great finish. I was unable to hear the commentary or see any splits though.
