May 30th - School is OFFICIALLY DONE!

Today was the last day of post planning and now I will be able to devote the time that I need to training...after our weekend trip to the lake with some people that I work with of course.  That will be a nice end to my recovery week.  I think I may even give myself a reprieve from my self-imposed alcohol ban for the weekend. 

I had a good swim this morning.  I focused on speed and did another 1200 yards as 200 warm up, 200 kick, 200 build, 2x100 sprint, 4x50 sprint, and 200 cool down.  Next week will be a return to distance and hopefully I will be able to get in the lake for a few swims as well. 

Since today was the last day of school, we were allowed to leave early.  Or at least no one was looking for us after lunch so most of us sneaked out early.  I had an hour ride scheduled for this afternoon before my PT appointment so I asked a buddy to come with me.  Shaun and I did and easy hour long ride and covered about 16 miles.  My rides are virtually pain free at this point and I am hoping that will transfer to the run as soon as I get clearance.

PT with Tina went well tonight also.  Most of the things we do are strength based and focused on getting me ready to run again.  She also makes sure to add in some core work for me. 

It's almost time to buy some new tri gear.  I got a few gifts cards and some cash for my birthday so I will be using that for some new tri shorts, a tri shirt and probably a bike fit that I am going to schedule for next week.  I may need a new saddle but I will wait to see what the bike fitter says about that.
