its a beautiful day... for a 40K TT and some 100s in the pool

Threw down a solid 25 mile TT out on my mini AZ bike course this morning.

Total time = 1:17:07

Wind was minimal and temp was absolutely perfect! Was happy to be able to maintain good effort throughout this ride given last night hard effort on the bike.

Made up a swim I was supposed to do last Sunday.

6x100 @ 4 minutes rest

1:41

Also did 300 WU, Usual 4x50 Catch up, 8x25 Catch up with PB, 100 Breast stroke and stretching to cool down. Pretty happy with these splits. Would like to break 1:40 just once though :)

"It's a beautiful day" by U2 was the song that played at the swim start at LP 2008. I'll never forget it. Still gives me chills every time I hear it. Of course, that day was far from "beautiful" in the literal sense, but really was beautiful for everyone that crossed the finish line that day :). Those of you training for LP right now will know that feeling soon!
