Week - 8/28 to 9/3

It's Birthday week! And what does Debi get to do on this week?

Monday - swim 5000
Tuesday - run 30 min, ride 2 hours (30ez, 30 at Oly pace, 30 ez, 15 Oly pace, 15 ez), then 30 min run (10ez, 10fast, 10 ez). It must have been high 90's and humidity off the chart. After my first 30 min run I was drenched. The good news is that you do get to cool down on the ride. That and towards the end a storm blew through and dropped the temps to 75 (from 95 when I started riding), so the last run went off without a hitch.
Wed - off (was supposed to run long today, but have moved it to Sunday)
Thur - Did Saturday's workout (didn't want two hard days back to back) - 112 miles ride (did 114) as 10 miles ez, 10 at oly, 10 at HIM, 10 at IM, then repeat that mix, and then 10 ez, 15 at IM pace, 10+ ez. Then it was off the bike for a 45 min run (15ez, 15LT, 15ez). Rode with Shelley (the wheel sucker), Betsy Butler and Sherry. Sherry has now learned that she can't drink Red Bull on her rides. Causes the HR to jack up to the stratosphere, and slows her down. Me? It just gives me wings! Ride was hard, but could have been worse. The temps held on average of 70 degrees, and for the most part the rain preceeding Tropical Storm Ernesto stayed away. Run was uneventful, and managed rather well.
Today (Friday) I have to figure out when I'm going to swim. Lunch time wiht the ladies to celebrate the coming 48th year.
Saturday - 3 hour easy ride + 20 min run
Sunday - 14 mile run with speed thrown in.
