Week 8 of training, this week is a recovery week so the distances are a little lighter.  7:41 min/mi average for the run.  This is a little quicker than usual.  I think from missing yesterday and a couple of training days last week I was feeling better and getting after it a little more.  Drill sets, a base interval, and sprints for the swim.

John, something when an easy day is 5.6 miles under 8 min, and swimming 1650 yrds wtih sprint drills. It seems you are doing great on your training plan. Keep up the brick after brick.

Brent, it's nice to get a week where the distances are a little shorter. Thanks for hooking me up with Di. She sent me some information about her bike set up and prferences. I went ahead and had an 11-28 cassette put put on, which replaced the 12-25. I think before doing anything else, like changing to a compact crank, I'm going to ride the course next weekend and see if the larger 28 ring will allow me to pull the hills.

John, good luck, let me know how the practice ride goes.

John forgot one comment, I have a compact, the only downside, minor issue, is spinning out on the downhills. The uphills have been great. Downhill is a minor issue as I start hitting the brakes at 38 mph or so anyway.
