** Today was a test of how long I could hold a pace with decreasing rest.

Turns out I felt better than ever as I decreased the interval!

AWESOME! **

YOGA

BIKE
12.76 miles in 38:25 at 19.94 mph

** I went out with the idea of hitting race pace

somewhere above 20 mph.

I was at 20.12 with 0.2 miles to go.

The final hill was torture!

But MAN did I feel great! **

RUN
7.08 miles in 48:31 at 6:51 pace

** I went out on the brick run hoping to hit HIM pace (7:30).

I started at 7:00.

Then as I got out of the T2 legs, I sped up.

6:51 pace without a push.

AWESOME!!! **

Looking ahead to Rev3 race day (June 3rd), I feel I am ahead, right on, and well behind schedule all at the same time.  My swim is right where I expect it to be.  My bike, however, has as usual gone to the back burner.  My goal has been 21 mph since January, but I never put in the work I needed.  If I pull off 20 or 21 mph, I'll be lucky.  The run is where I've found I have exceeded even my own expectations.  I'm shooting for 7:30 and after 57.2 miles I may be right there, but after my recent runs, I might be faster. 

I'll still be shooting for sub-5 come race day, but here's to learning lessons and doing better for B2B!
