64 minutes biking into work this morning - 1 minute faster than last week - my fastest time last year when I was in prime shape was under 60 minutes. Let's see if I can break 58 minutes this summer!
It is amazing to me how fast (or slow) time can pass when training. Riding my bike in this morning, I got in the zone - I have no recollection what I was thinking about, but before I knew it, I had ridden 50 minutes and was practically finished with my ride. There are times when I'm not in the zone or just tired and minutes drag on - most of this depends on my fitness level, but man it feels good to just let the mind go...
Swam last night - I've got to remember to avoid the pool between 5:30 and 7 on Wednesday nights. 2 or 3 swim classes use all the lanes except 1. All the lap swimmers share the same lane. Of course everyone is different speed and skill. Fortunately I started about 5:00, so I got about 40 minutes in before I gave went home.
Beautiful day out there. Looking forward to the ride home!

The time warp thing happens to me during races, Sunday's race being a perfect example. After the fact, it seems like each event took about 30 minutes. But, the reality is that we were out their hammering for over 3 hours. It just doesn't seem like it took that long. I become so focused during races that the time whizzes by. However, when I'm training many times it can feel like drudgery. It would be great if I didn't have to train and I could just race!
re: race without training
yeah man that would be nice, but I suspect if I did that, it wouldn't take too long before the racing would hurt so much that time would move more slowly JS
Yes, the reality is that we must train and we must train hard and well. That is the only way to perform at the top level in our sports!
