Today was a really big and action packed day.
The night before I didn't get to bed until 12:30 am after many cocktails at the HP after party and hanging around the bar at the Wynn hotel.
I still managed to get up and was at the hotel gym and on the lifecycle by 6:30 am for my 2.5 hour long ride.
It was the first time I've ever done a long bike on a stationary bike at a health club.
The first hour was rough, but once the endorphins kicked in I felt much better. According to the bike computer I was doing about 184 watts for pretty much most of the ride.
Later in the afternoon, after the trade show was over, I rushed to the YMCA to put in a 3000 meter swim. I was hurrying to finish, as I had tickets to the UFC, so I put the swim burners on and finished in 1 hour 6 minutes.
The amazing thing about the swim was that it was very difficult to even keep the heart rate over 120 bpm. For the first 1400 meters of a long swim drill, I averaged 2:04 minutes per hundred meters.
My swimming is showing improvement. During my triathlon races this past summer my average pace was 2:25 per hundred meters.
