Went for a 51mi bike ride.  The weather as pretty nice, but it was really windy.  One direction I was going about 20mph easy and the other about 14mph hard.  I keep searching for the perfect saddle and I'm disappointed everytime I get a new one.  The one I currently have is tolerable if I keep switching from the aero position to the handle bars, but I really need to get one to work for me so I can stay on the aerobars longer for my 1/2 ironman and full ironman distance races comming up.

Skipped track workout today and ran on my own.  I'm starting to get real busy with school work and studying for tests, which leaves less time for commuting and socializing.  I still got in a good 7.5mi leaving from my house and doing a big loop.  I even got to do a small 0.7mi loop through the woods on a trail off of the main path.  I averaged 8:35/mi.

Unfortunately the pool was closed for maintanence today so no swimming :(

Did a 5.1mi loop around campus from my house.  My glutes were sore from squats yesterday, but after a few miles and with the help of the wind I dropped to about an 8:00/mi pace for the last two miles.  I ended up averaging 8:29/mi.

Swam 1800yds (300s, 100k, 100s, 5 x 200s, 100drill, 200 cool down)

Used my bike trainer for 50min (watched Fringe) to make up for not being able to ride more on Thursday.  Rode my mountain bike about 10mi commuting.

Did a trail run.  Intended on running 12mi but wanted to explore a side trail that ended in a different location than I thought.  I wasn't running very fast so the extra distance was fine.  Ended at around a 9:30/mi pace.
