We had a few people over for Becca’s Birthday on Sunday evening. We seemed to get everyone fed right before it started raining and chased us all in doors. Here is a photo of the big slab of ice cream Becca
wanted instead of a cake.
On Monday I did a 2800 yard swim workout followed by a 21.5 mile bike ride on my new favorite loop over the dam. An hour for the swim and an hour and a half for the bike ride.
Today (Tuesday 9/4) I did a 2500 yard swim workout in 55 minutes.
Tomorrow I’m planning to swim another (but different) 2500 yard workout. I’m getting my swims in early this week because I’m traveling Wednesday midday through late Friday afternoon.
I got up and rode a 21.56 mile ride this morning. This was a solo ride as Matt is out of town. I also did it earlier than normal because there was no Headstrong meeting this morning.
I took the Highline Canal trail south to 470 then west to the top of Chatfield Dam, then back north along the South Platte River to Lee Gulch then east back to the Canal and home. It took be 1 hour, 31 minutes and 17 seconds. In my Heart rate Zone 3 (144-164) I was in zone for 1:12:12, my average HR was 148, peak HR 166, min HR 106, calories 1623.
I remembered to take my camera and took this shot of some hot air balloons from the top of the dam.
Since Thursday evening was a late one due to the Volleyball game, I didn’t go to the gym before work on Friday morning. I did go after work and swam this workout.
500 yd w/u - 1000 yard as 3 easy 1 fast - 500 yd c/d - 2000 yds in 40:38.
We went to the Heritage football game against Highlands Ranch last night. In a game that the Eagles should have won, the final was HR 21, H 17.
Went to the pool this morning and did this work out.
500 yd w/u - 500 yd fast (15) - 400 yd easy (15) - 300 yd fast (15) - 200 yd easy (15) - 100 yd fast (15) - 500 yd c/d - 2500 yds in 56:22
