Last Workout

I did my last workout today. The swim was fine. The water was really, really cold close to shore but was fine in deeper water. I need to make sure that I use a ton of body glide on my neck because the chaffing and salt water really tears it up. Going out was nice with a tailwind. Swimming across the wind was a little fun. I had to breathe on the right because of waves crashing over me. Going in was a lot more difficult but once I figured out to power through the waves, I was fine. I'm expecting a decent swim tomorrow.

I rode the bike for the first time with my kick ass race wheels. Don at Austin Tri Cyclist let me borrow a set of Zipp Z9's. Yes, those nice Z9's. The wheels that I'm riding are worth 2.5 times what I paid for the bike. I was really fast on the wheels and the wind wasn't a problem. The bike did get a little bit squirrely, but it isn't anything that I can't handle. Tomorrow's forecast is a headwind for about 30 miles of the bike, but it's mostly at the beginning of the bike and then a tailwind coming back. I prefer this instead of a headwind coming back in.

I ran briefly and I felt fine. My foot feels funny. It's like it's sore and the muscles are fatigued or something. Nothing I can do about it now. All that I have to do is turn in my bike and 2 of my bags and then eat.

Tomorrow morning, I'll attempt becoming an Ironman.

And thansk Jodi for your encouragement. I really, really appreciate it.

Shoe mileage (I haven't updated it in awhile): 66 miles

Side note, I've only ran 37.5 miles on the ground since July 28th.
