Planning a double today. Swim at lunch and ride after work, even if it is 103 degrees. Legs sore from run yesterday, but some massaging with "the stick" has helped a lot.
Swim was good considering I felt like I was flopping around. Swam combo free and drills for 600m warmup (trying to get form to feel better). Swam 2000m (1.24miles) straight:
600m 11:07
1000m 18:38
2000m 38:03
Rested and swam 400m pretty nicely as a cooldown.
There was no hurrying in my long swim. I took a long steady pace and kept it. I was tired at the end, but not particularly exhausted. I felt like my calves were cramping a bit (just tight I think). Didn't really want to get out of the water and ride 56 and run 13, but the long swim built my confidence that the swim will be fine in the half.
Rode 27 miles, 1:30, 18.3mph. Lost 2 lbs while consuming 4 lbs of fluids on the ride. So ultimately I was 6lbs in the hole in 90 mins? Felt good. Knees and hips a little achy and back is still sore.

After college, I moved to Statesboro, GA where I got my Master's in Biology at Georgia Southern University. I lived and worked in the southeast for 17 years before moving to Colorado in 2015. I work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as land bird coordinator for the Mountain-Prairie Region. I help support conservation and research on declining birds like Sprague's Pipit, Thick-billed and Chestnut-collared Longspurs, Baird's Sparrow, and Pinyon Jay. My wife and I have a daughter in 3rd grade (2020-21) and twin boys who turned 4 in Nov 2020. I periodically get out my guitar and play songs until the kids complain, which doesn't take too long.
