Today's workouts:
Long run
Run: 4.18 km
Today I did a little longer run. It was the annual Warrior Dash Toronto run. An obstacle course race that tests strength and endurance with numerous different obstacles scattered along the 5.64 km course. I ran the entire course, which is different, I usual,y stay with my team. I had two teammates keep up with me and run the entire course. Some of the obstacles get crowded so our time is not a usual 5 km pace. Our running on e though was slightly faster than my normal running pace, even in the heat!!!
Time: 48:11
Pace: 8:32 min/km
Distance: 5.64 km
Due up tomorrow:
Long bike, but will skip it as I have the Carstar Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides Walk at the Toronto Zoo.
Sunday May 29, 2016
Today was an amazing day at the Toronto Zoo for the 2016 Carstar Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides walk! Even with the heat and humidity, it was enjoyful to walk about the zoo and visit all the pavilions, even though we were there a few weeks ago. At least today was raising awareness and donations to support Cystic Fibrosis. I missed my long training bike, but well worth supporting the cause.

Today's workouts:
Short run and medium swim
Swim: 950m
Swim went well today. I actually got in an open water swim! All the equipment worked flawlessly. I absolutely love the float buoy, for personal safety, as well it carried my phone for recording the swim workout. It measured the laps I completed. The wet suit is great, and I had no problem taking it off as well.
Time: 18:33
Pace: 2:04 min/100m
Distance: 900m
Run: 2.54km
Right after the open water swim I went for a short run. Tried the running shoes with no socks. I definitely need water in transition to rinse my feet. The triathlon shorts and top felt great! Due to Warrior Dash being tomorrow, I only ran 1.4 km.
Time: 8:07
Pace: 6:31 min/km

Fastest pace: 3:53 min/km

Today's workouts:
Short bike and medium run
Bike: 9.82km
Have not received my road bike back from the shop, hopefully by Sunday for the long ride. Used a normal cardio bike today and did heart rate hill training. Thought I fell short of my distance, and then realized it was in miles. Pleasantly surprised and had a great brick workout.
Time: 30:00
Speed: 26.6 km/hr
Distance: 13.3 km
Run: 3.38
I had to run on the treadmill to make it a brick workout today. I set it at 2.0% incline and was running between 5.8 & 6.2 mph for the duration of the run. I found myself sweating buckets today, maybe due to increase in heat. Did not have too hard of a time converting from cycling to running.
Time: 21:39
Pace: 6:27 /km
Distance 3.36 km
I also managed to get a wetsuit as well as triathlon shorts and top. So open water swimming tomorrow!
Due up tomorrow:
Medium swim, 950m & short run, 2.57 km

Today's workouts:
Medium run and long swim
Swim: 1150m
Swim went well today. Had wished to be out in open water already, but could not get a wet suit yet. Maybe by Friday I'll have a wetsuit and be swimming open water.
Time: 29:01
Pace: 2:09 min/100m
Strokes: 13 strokes/25m ; 25 strokes/min
SWOLF: 45
I decided because the triathlon is a week and a half away I would save today's run for a brick workout tomorrow.

Today's workouts:
Medium bike
Bike: 13.1km
My road cycle is in the shop for a quick tune up and new tires and drive train prior the triathlon so I completed this workout on a spin bike at the gym. Just not the same, would've enjoyed being outside. I held a pretty constant pace though.
Time: 29:01
Speed: 27.1 km/hr
Distance: 13.1 km
I also attended skyrobics tonight to burn 600 additional calories.

Today's workout:
Short swim
Swim: 750m (30 laps)
I still have yet to get a wetsuit, maybe this week. It is still too cold to go in without a wetsuit. I think it'll be one cold race come June 5th!
The workout consisted of 2x100m front crawl, 200m drill (8x25m of dolphin kick, breaststroke, back crawl, and flutter kick), 6x50m front crawl, and 50m breaststroke.
Time: 28:50
Pace: 2:13 min/100m
Strokes: 13 strokes/25m ; 22 strokes/min
SWOLF: 45
I attempted to go and play tennis today, but forgot balls at home and no stores were open due to the holiday, but I did get out for a rollerblade across the waterfront. Then settled in for some nachos and wine while watching the Raptors beat the Cavaliers.
