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

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!
