Great work on that Half Marathon Jim, good that you had the woman to push you on, the sprint finish is essential.

Thanks Scott! That little sprint at the end was fun. I was happy with the time as a first effort. Beat my goal and came within a minute of my stretch goal. Next time I hope to be down in the 1:40s. Well, the next time I race this distance will be after swimming 1.2 miles and biking 58 miles during the half IM,:yikes: so maybe the time after that.....

Cycled 28 miles with my brother-in-law in Canada. Good ride, mellow pace, probably around 18 mph.

Drove home from Canada. No workout.

Dog tired from getting home very late last night.
Easy 4.5 mile run at half marathon pace (~8:25 min/mile)

Swam 12x100 yds with 30 sec RI, mostly around 1:40/100 yds (slightly slower at the beginning and slightly faster at the end), then

Five rounds for time of:
Swim 50 meters (I swim at a yds pool so added one extra length at the end)
25 Push-ups
[B]9:15[/B]

This was all about the push-ups. I finished the first round in a minute when I did the first set of push-ups unbroken. By the end, however, I was doing push-ups 3 at a time. My push-ups really sucked today! I had to swim nice and easy to give me a longer break between push-up sets. Maybe my push-ups were affected by swimming 1200 yds before starting this WOD, but I'll be adding push-ups to my weekly routine again, since I haven't done them for a while and it showed. 8 minutes next time.

Cycled 25.5 miles (1:37.00)
Slow time tonight, but it was a hilly route with 3 climbs of several hundred feet and I finished in the dark and had to go slow to avoid a pothole disaster.
