MY COMMENTS TO COACH
That was hard. Ran out of gas in the last 5x50 set. Dizzy after the 6x100. Ready to throw up at the 6x50. On the positive side, I recovered pretty quickly after getting out of the pool. Noticed my form breaking down as I was getting tired (not lifting my arms in particular). Really focused on form everytime I had a break down. Overall, I was pleased.

7:30am - Home to get everyone going and get Lucia ready for school.
8:30am - Drop Lucia off at school.

THE WORKOUT
Very easy bike for 45 minutes. Keep cadence high and in a easy gear. Cadence about 80 mostly in zone 1 for this ride.
(zone 1 is not possible unless I walk the bike)

MY COMMENTS TO COACH
Hit every light, fought my way through the Silverado Track Team, cut off by three cars and buzzed twice. Bunch of haters today. I got the time in, but that's about all I can say for this ride.

3:30pm - Pickup Lulu from School. Talk with her teacher about questions that Melissa has regarding her homework and reading (homework is relative in kindergarten).
4:00pm - Church for Catechisim orientation.
Get Lucia fed and runmore errands.
7:00pm - Swim lesson for Lulu. Her teacher had to cancel classes this week, so Daddy is filling in.

More chores and work.
11:45pm - Bed
