Last Week's Training Took A Vacation



The plan was for me was to do another 7 hours of training for Augusta 70.3. Well, my training took a vacation. You see last week my mom retired from teaching school so my mom & grandmother, my bothers family & my family all went down to Mexico Beach Florida for a long weekend. Because of all the extra family time I skipped out on some of the training to hang with them. Here are my totals from last week.

Monday – I did a brick workout. 1 hour on the bike with a 30 minute run.
Wednesday – I had a long bike ride. 1 hour & 38 minutes covering 26+ miles
Thursday – I did Open Water Swim in the Gulf of Mexico. They had buoys set up for the boats to stay away form the swimmers. The buoys were 300 yards off shore and about 900 yards apart. It was like I had my on triathlon swim. The Ocean was very choppy for the Gulf so that was a challenge.
Friday – 4 mile run in 35 minutes. Then 1500 yard swim in the ocean.
Saturday –I did the same 4 mile run and then another buoy to buoy swim.
Totals For The Week

Swim – 2.6 Mi – 1:06:00
Bike – 42.9 Mi – 2:38:00
Run – 10.9 Mi – 1:35:00
Total Time – 5:20:00


At night we would go Ghost Crab Hunting. We caught a bucket full.
