Thursday through Saturday

Like last week, I stayed home instead of going to DSU to save time and energy for my Friday swim. I did an easy 2.12 mile shuffle and then went to Twin Rivers where I swam

1,200
10 X 100 @ 2:00
400 easy
8 X 100 @ 1:59
400 easy
Total: 3,800 meters

Friday I went to the pond and shuffled a super easy 1.5 between laps. I totaled 6.23 miles for my 16th 10K + of the year.

Saturday was the 300 Oaks 10K and since it is in my hometown, I always try to run it. I was a little disappointed in my time which was 52:28. Last year I was about forty seconds faster. That time did, however, earn me 2nd place in my age group. Randy was about a minute ahead of me and he placed also. In addition to the 10K, we shuffled through the Fun Run giving us 7.2 miles of running for the day.

After the awards ceremony, Randy, Robin, and I went to Twin Rivers. Robin swam about an hour. Randy and I did 8 X 1500 (the eight was 1600) for 12,100 meters. So all in all it was a pretty heavy training day. This was my first time to run and swim a 10K in one day. For Randy, it was his third.
