The week has been good for swimming this week. As you can see by my side bar my swim volume is up double from last week! and it's only Wednesday and I have one more swim scheduled for the week.
It was great to be in the pool with a swim partner, Jenn! She comes from a swimming background and has not been in the pool herself in about 5 years and let me tell you, she can swim. This totally stinks as we were sharing a lane. She started swimming and her goal was to just get used to being back in the water, get her breathing down and go through her strokes. After a few lengths of the pool Jenn was breathing hard but not long after (as I was swimming 40 mins continuous) I felt her nipping at my feet!! I was cool, contact! Like in a tri, kinda. Anyway, she had found her breathing and was now easily starting to get back in the rhythm. A few more laps and she was definitely swimming well, although, coming from her back round she says she was not, Whatever! Overall, I am super Proud of Jenn for getting back out there after so long and enjoying it!
Now in the next 3 days, JT has to step up the feed bag and get ready for the long bike this weekend. It's stated to be super nice outside and I should be out early and get it done but 70 miles is long way to go and around here in the rolling hills it's not going to be too easy let alone it will be my longest ride in a long long time! But I am looking forward to it to make some nutrition and mental notes.
On the run side, things have been slow and low but I'm getting some runs in there and here along with the scheduled workouts although I still an not feeling the run overall. I guess I'm really focused on biking and swimming theses days.

Glad to hear you're out there in the pool.
It's great to hear that Jenn is with you. It's nice to have a training partner. Although it sucks when they're better than you! Better step up your game!
Hey one thought, since the runs are coming slow and low, try adding them on to your bike. Turn them into bricks and then you kill two birds with one stone.
Lemonade out of lemons!

70 Miles is a long haul. My advise, eat two pizza's and tell me how it goes :-)
Good luck! Nice progress!!!
