I love my days off. Mtn biked in Corner canyon in Draper.  Started up Clarks trail to Jacobs latter. Turned around when it got killer steep. I to the corners fast kicking out my back wheel.  Then down ghost falls wicked fast to my car. Did 7 miles in about an hour. I pushed the up hills hard.   I did about 3 to 4 miles all up hill.

Took my road bike out for a spin with Laurie about 1:00 while the kids were in school.  About 2.5 miles from home she got a screw in her back tire.  I biked  home ave. 21 MPH to get the car.  Got a new tire and tube at Taylor's bike shop.  Drove down the road from the shop and parked the car. Biked out 3200 W to 6200 S.  Went down 6200 S and turned right on 2700 W. Road that out to about 8700 S.  As we got closer to 3200 W I said to laurie "I smelled donuts mmmmmmm".  We found Dunford donuts and had to stop to get some.  I road my bike and ate my yummy choclolate frosted cinniman roll.  Dropped laurie off at the car and I road 6 more miles wicked fast home (ave 22 MPH) Did 21 miles on my road bike. My quads are tired from the mtn biking up hill.

Got home and Laurie was going to the gym with mary to use the elipticals, so I went with. Did 500 meters at the pool. Got out of the pool and ran home at about a 7 min pace for 1 mile. I so am beat. I think I will do an arm workout tonight. I am think I am sick in the head. I love to work out.

Started to run out side with my wife laurie and the kids.  We got about a half a mile from home when we got hit by a swarm of bugs.  The bugs have been bad near my house for the past 2 weeks.  We went home and headed to the gym.  I ran 1 mile on the indoor track and then hit the treadmill for 4 miles ave about a 8:30 pace.

Then went and did some laps in the pool.  Laurie would do a lap and I would watch the kids.  When she was done with her lap I would do a lap.  I am trying this new style of swimming called "Total immerion".  I have been learning it via the internet.  I think it make things easier but I didn't have enought time to put thourgh a good test.  Pool closed.  Did 5 laps 250 meters at about 1:05 a lap.  Normaly I did my 50 in 1:10. 

Its time to find a good training program for a olyimpic tri.

My wife did the Goblin Valley 50 K today.  I love that race.  It was my first ultra about 4 years ago.  Today I wasn't running the race.  I biked out about 7 miles of the race and met laurie.  She was doing well.  I biked really hard out.  when I met her she was doing well.  I ran 2 miles with her and then biked.  I then ran the last mile with her in the state park.  That was fun and brought back many memorys.  Last time I ran this part I was in pain and it sucked.  This time it was very enjoyable.

3 run

12 bike

Did an hour spin class.  The normal teacher wasn't there. The fill in teacher killed me.  Her idea of a rest after a sprint was to stand and job.  She beat me but I wasn't soar.

1050 meters swim.  Did 200 m sets.  Laurie swam with me.  I can beat her in a 200 m set but I had to rest a lot longer after each set.

Ran 10 miles with my old running club Locomotion.  I pushed both kids up and down some hills.  It sucked some times.  I figured I was pushing about 100 lb.  My knee is a bit soar but not too bad.  Talked to a lot of my good friends.
