Last big day before go time...

Today was my last real day of training until Sunday's race. It was another triple workout day. 

My biggest concern is the speed of my run and whether I lost any of my speed because some of the runs I missed due to my injured foot. I think I might be okay because the first half mile of today's run was at a 6:44 pace. My heart rate was getting high and I slowed it down, but my legs weren't sore at all. I think the heart rate was high due to the poor eating abuse I put on my body yesterday.

I did my run and swim over lunch time at the Y. Right after the run I did my swim and I had a good workout. I even had a guy kick water in my face during the swim and lost my breath, it was good training for Sunday's swim. The swim in triathlon can be a dangerous and a very physical event. Last year I was kicked and got bruised ribs and had my goggles knocked off, plus I've been slapped and scratched.

I left work a little early to get my ride in before it started raining. I was hoping to finish early enough to go to the movie "The Hangover" with Alice and Reid. I felt fairly strong on the ride and half way through it, it started to rain. I got soaked. It felt good to finish and have a hot shower. 

Today's picture is of a sign on a tree in front of a house I often ride buy. I stopped in the rain to take the shot and get some cover under a tree. I'm not sure if they sell flags or have a yard full of different flags. I'll have to check it out one day. Now it's movie time.
