The Nats Opening Day at RFK is today (the first actual Opening Day in D.C. since they moved here). As of yesterday just 4 more weeks until the other Opening Day: the race. That's starting to sink in.
Last week was the last of our EZ weeks. Due to a bad schedule I missed both of the bike rides in the middle of the week but was able to get the rest of the workouts in. Tuesday's swim was a number of easy drills and then some more open water simulations. Thursday we did 1950 for an "easy" workout. Those were our hard workouts only a month or so ago. I'm really feeling strong in the water. Yesterday I was able to go for 1800 yards in 30 minutes (that last 50 was an all out sprint, though). Too bad the swim is the shortest event! Saturday's bike was 60' and would have been really easy if we hadn't taken a wrong turn and gone up a big climb by the Mormon Tabernacle. That hurt. Luckily we won't get hills like those in Florida, but I probably will in the other races this summer. Might as well get used to it.
This week is roughly the same intensity as two weeks ago, and then we start to taper:
Monday: 50' bike, 3 x 7' AT (finally got out in the morning and did 3 loops around Haines Point for the intervals)
Tuesday: swim (2600 yards), run 45' with a bunch of intervals
Wednesday: Bike 70'
Thursday: swim (2600 yards again), long run 70'
Friday: OFF
Saturday: Brick - bike 120', run 30', swim
Sunday: 30' swim
I will probably swap out the Tues/Thurs runs since we get done swimming so much earlier on Tuesdays and it's easier to get the run in before work. Short day at work today then off to RFK. I'm going to try and follow Liz's lead and go on the wagon for the next 4 weeks after a beer at the game. Oh, and maybe except for the wine happy hour that Teen is holding tonight. And the bourbon tasting on Friday. Seriously, I should be good after that!
