Stroke and Stride Swim/Run

1800

Stroke and stride race @ Boulder reservoir
750m swim/5k run
Open water, mostly calm condition
Road + gravel

Overall time (my watch)- 43:20


  • Notes: Had a good time with this. The swim was pretty ugly on my part...I have zero experience with open water swimming so my line was getting pretty off, especially towards the end. I did mostly css with a little freestyle mixed in there. Pushed it pretty hard on the run, but not balls out - probably around 90%. Felt great though, my form has improved by leaps and bounds and I could feel it getting better when I started fatiguing. Probably burned more time on the transition than I should have, but oh well. Fun stuff.
  • Sleep: 7 hours.
  • Nutrition: Good, slept through my alarm this morning so I didn't have time for my big breakfast. Got a breakfast burrito during work that was actually really good and didn't have crap in it. About to go get some smash burger for a little PWO. Mmm.
  • Body: I honestly had no business racing today, my legs are straight fucked with soreness. Hammies, adductors, and calves seem to have the worst of it.
  • General: Tomorrow = rest. Thank the lord.
