    m-bike 35k morning. Scenic ride, then we went on a walking detour to see an ariplane that had crashed. During the walk, I almost feel into a jungle swamp when this big, Viking sized, Dutch man passed me (to save me from a mean looking dog) on a bamboo bridge and the bridge broke. I slowly, slowly backed up and got across the bridge. It was scary. The rest of the group crawled across the bridge. Once I was safely across the bridge, it was  fuuny to watch the others trying to cross. Luckily, no one was hurt. I had fun on my bike ride but then I had to do my long run that night.  Run 5k at school track while son was doing baseball practice. It numbs my mind to run on the track. After dinner, I finished up with  run 8k, walk 2k, run 1k. Got home at nearly 10pm. Too much in one day, I was tired the next and dragging, Also, I don't like running in the evening. I don't have as much energy as in the morning. At least I got my long run in for the week.   

    t-swim 2.3k, bike 10k, walk 4k

    w-run 6k (I don't like treadmills) Boot camp guy is till gone so I did some stuff in the gym by myself. I need to organize myself better in the gym. Not much focus or benefit.

    th-swim1k. Way too much talking going on by the teacher. It was good for teaching us form, but didn't get the distance in I wanted too. bike  15k, walk 6k

    f- this was a fun day. run 5k, bike 10k, swim 1k. I think that is my favorite workout. I practiced one of the "tricks" the teacher taught us on Thurdsay. I felt like I was swimming stronger, but never timed myself to see if I was also swimming faster. 

    s-another long, hot day in the sun watching a swim meet. 4k walk in the evening. 

    too lazy to convert kilos to miles- either way, the distance is the same.

    we all know you track it in K's so, it's all good!

    Nice workout week. You are really hitting it hard. I can't wait for you to share some good swimming tips with me this summer.

    Scary stuff on that bridge...holy cow sister! Don't scare me like that or I'll have to blister your bottom!

    What an adventerous week. You could create an obstacle challenge out there with bridges that fall out, wild dogs that chase you, dodging viking sized danes, crossing raging flooded streets, and mucking through the mud.

    Good week of workouts. Esp Friday's mini-tri workout.

    Friday was my "fun" day. Wait, didn't Rebecca Black already say that?

    Anyway, I think I will make a habit out of either Friday or Saturday being my "fun" day. It is hard to protect my Saturday morning from the onslaught of people and things that keep cutting into it. Hmmmmm :(

    And as for that swimming "trick", when I used it in class the next week, it wasn't helping swim any faster.
