man this weekend was crazy for me. here is a brief outline of it.
went to austin friday planning to do a 75 mile ride saturday. woke up sat morning at 4 am to intense thunder storms. hoped the would pass so i went back to sleep and woke up when my alarm went off at 6. looked outside, still rainy and no sign of letting up. checked 4 different weather reports. most said some sort of rain. only 1 said no rain. the other three ranged from rain all day to only in the evening and only in the morning. went back to sleep. at 730 woke up, still raining, so i decided to scrap the ride. i ended up going to the gym with my dad, here is what i did.
1.5 hour spin bike ride, 1 hour of it was a spin class, then rowed 1k, then swam for 20 min.
When i left the gym it was cloudy still. as soon as i got home and showered it was sunny. i thought, hm the weather must be right, it will rain later today since thats what it called for. turns out it was hot as hell, sunny as anything and didn't rain a drop after 10 am. so once i was done with everything I had planned for the day I went out and did another bike ride on some hills.
30 mile bike. don't know stats, not worried about it, it was hot and my legs were exhausted from the start.
Sunday I went down to barton springs to try my wetsuit. I was supposed to get to sleep in sunday and rest but since saturday was so messed up that didn't happen. I got a new wetsuit for couer d'alene since right now the water temp is 49 and it should be around 60 on race day.the wetsuit was great. it was very warm but i could tell it will tax my shoulders more than i thought. even though the rubber is very flexible and is designed well it still restricts movement. other than that it good. i swam roughly 800m trying out the suit. 68 degree water.
