Did my longest swim yet today. Had originally scheduled a 2500 meter swim session but decided to abide by the "10% rule" and since my previous long was only 2000, only went 2200. Felt nice and comfortable. Looking at my times, I think my goal of 90-95 minutes in the water is entirely manageable.
On an Ironman related note, I'd heard that St. George Utah is one of the hardest ones out there. Check out this preview. Well it must be tough because even though most IM events sell out relatively quickly (or even in a few hours at times), look at what the organizers are doing for St. George. This comes from a Facebook posting: COOL FREEBIE: Register for Ford Ironman St. George b/w now & Friday (11:59 p.m. ET) & receive a *free* training plan from Coach Troy Jacobson, one of Ironman's official coaches! A value of more than $200, you will receive a 12-wk comprehensive program (via Training Peaks) & 3 complimentary Spinervals DVDs. Visit ironmanstgeorge.com or coachtroy.com for more info. That tells me it must be a killer and they are trying to encourage people to do it.
From what I've seen of the organizers, they don't do anything for free :)
For the rest of the week, I have a short run Friday, my long run Saturday and some yoga Sunday. If it really gets into the 50s as promised, I'm going to pull out the bike for something on Sunday as well.
