The training continues...

The first day of training after my third triathlon 2 days ago, and all is well. Pulled out 1100 meters in the pool this afternoon, and feeling pretty good. My timed 400m was 11:12 - more than 2 minutes slower than Sunday's tri - which at first I was baffled by - but figured that this swimming stuff is probably a lot like running. I don't put too much effort into my training runs, and my pace per mile is usually significantly slower than what I pull out in a race, so I'm assuming swimming is the same way. Still, doesn't quite explain how I shaved an entire 2 minutes off of this tri compared to last, considering both times were acquired during an actual event. Oh well, not gonna lose too much sleep over it.

Feeling a little sluggish today. Haven't been able to hear out of my right ear all day, and both trying to pop it and pouring a cap full of peroxide into it didn't to the trick, so I guess I'm screwed 'til it clears up on it's own. The weather is finally starting to get (and hopefully stay) warm, and as I write this (7:13 p.m. EST) it is still a warm 68 degrees outside. The weather is in my favor for the remainder of the week which means great opportunities for outside runs and bike rides - yah!!!! Until tomorrow....
