Well the pool was this morning, not yesterday. Oh I went there but there was some commotion that I did not want to get involved in so I went and picked up my Mighty Mo and had half a beer with The Colonel, aka Dad, who has been in Kansas for the last two weeks on a defense contract.
But I did get in a monster set, for me, in the pool this morning. 1400 meters. Some 25's, 50's, a couple of 100's. Some good drills. I am much improved from the beginning of the year but still have a long way to go with my endurance. Its the biggest limiter in my tri-game. I say monster because I did actually plan out a series of 100's, in different blocks and then 800 meters of drills. I don't normally do 75's or 100's so to get those in and then only break 10-15 seconds in between is an accomplishment.
I am going to swim practice Wednesday and then planning on Thursday (situation depending) but may spend that time training Kevin the owner of Tribe Multisport because he is such a great guy. Unfortunately if I don't get there on Thursday I won't get back until next Wednesday because I have a 5k on Saturday. So I would be on my own again for a week.
In the better news department, Mistress and Mighty Mo are going to Oregon for a family wedding, no their not already related, next weekend. So I have a 48 hour pass all to myself. Some people have asked me if I want to go to the casino or strip club or bar.
Hell no, I plan on bell to bell training. All that macho man stuff is for those suffering from CMS (Common Man Syndrome for those of you new to this blog-just read the header in the title). A perfect weekend for me is Friday moutain bike and run brick, a group run 6 miles Saturday, then breakfast and then swim practice for an hour, then shower, movie, short bike in the afternoon, the long bike 30-40 miles on Sunday followed by a brick run 30 minutes. We shall see how firm I get this down.

Man, that weekend sounds like a dream!
AWESOME!! Quite a role model, my friend. Your training sounds great! Should be nice to have a little time to yourself, too!
Yeah, I really like that weekend training plan. There's a movie in the bargain and everything.
I like the image- keeping the metabolic homefires burning, so to speak, while the family is away. In case you were wondering Sisterhood of the Traveling pants is a total chick flick so you would want to don your backwards suspenders if you go to that one. :)
