A busy first week back at work with kids. \u00a0I was on my feet a lot which was quite a change from August! \u00a0My legs were tired from standing on the concrete floors and just putting in a full work day again! It should be a good school year, we’ve got lots of new kids!<\/p>\n

The training load for this week was pretty high, despite being only a few days out from the triathlon. \u00a0I’ve read that tri-training doesn’t use the same taper as running training. \u00a0That doesn’t make super sense to me, so I kind of split the middle. \u00a0 I used the bike trainer on Saturday morning while Christy was at work and then took the Trek out for a windy ride on Sunday morning. \u00a0Otherwise I did a lot of bike commuting again!<\/p>\n

I did a 5.7k trail race<\/a> on\u00a0Wednesday.\u00a0\u00a0I was pretty happy with it. \u00a0I was kind of glad I didn’t have to bike there as was originally planned.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday I did my first open water swim in a long time on a choppy Lake Nokomis. \u00a0I was supposed to be going with a co-worker, but she backed out due to a cold and it was a cool and rainy day. \u00a0I went anyway – it was the only day I knew for sure that I could get a swim in. \u00a0They had completely changed the swim area and the inner line of\u00a0buoys\u00a0was missing. \u00a0I went out and did a couple hundred yards or so and was going to call it a day. \u00a0As I was leaving a guy was coming down the beach to start swimming. \u00a0We chatted for a bit and I went out and did about 600 yards with him. \u00a0The water was pretty choppy and I would be nice to be able to breathe\u00a0bilaterally. It was good to get the open water swim in and to experience the water chop.<\/p>\n

The other fun workout was a Saturday night run with Christy. \u00a0She had promised that I could do a workout in the afternoon when she got home from work. \u00a0I had thought up this great plan of her riding next to me while running and then I’d ride the Nice Ride<\/a> bikes home. \u00a0Well I forgot and we got busy around the house. \u00a0At about 7:30-8pm she asked me about the workout and I told her my idea. I didn’t really think she’d go for it, but in 20 minutes we were all ready to go out the door. \u00a0Making sure the bike trailer was well lit up we headed out for a beautiful evening in downtown Minneapolis. \u00a0At some points I was surprised that the trail wasn’t lit up very much. \u00a0Some places were pitch black – except for my headlamp and her headlight. \u00a0We did most of the downtown Riverfront Loop<\/a> and picked up a Nice Ride at the Library<\/a>. \u00a0 We rode down Nicollet Mall and through downtown dropping off the Nice Ride near our house and then I jogged home. It was a fun and unique way to spend a Saturday evening together! Nadia slept through the whole thing!!<\/p>\n
