Starting a Weekend Half-IronMan

After several solid workouts during the week ...
  • Tue - 45-minute spin class (HR: 142 avg, 166 max) + 500 yd swim (9:25.77)
  • Wed - 60-minute spin class (HR: 145 avg, 172 max)
  • Thu - Indoor Reverse Tri: 2 mile treadmill run in 14:30, 52-minute spin class (HR: 152 avg, 174 max) + 1,000 yd swim (splits: 10:37 & 9:47 with a 1 minute water break between sets)
... today I kicked off my "Half-IronMan Tri over a weekend" with a 2,000 yd swim, completing it in 41:18.  Here are my 500 yd splits:
  • 1st 500 yds: 10:04
  • 2nd 500 yds: 10:30
  • 3rd 500 yds: 10:24.5
  • 4th 500 yds: 10:19

I think the 41:48 might be a PR for the 2,000 yard swim (EDIT: Nope, I did 41:20.5 on August 22) - I haven't been keeping track since it's a "shorter" distance.  For the record, my current PRs for 3,000 and 4,000 yards are 1:02:21 and 1:24:22, respectively.

Tomorrow, I will be doing the Cowtown Classic bike ride (100K distance) and then I plan to run 13.1 miles on Sunday to complete my "Half-IronMan".

Only four weeks to go until the real thing!
