I'm really full right now. I just got back from the Olive Garden with my good friend Andrew and his wife Emily. They have the "never ending pasta bowl" promo running right now. For $8.95, I was able to eat 5 bowls of pasta. Not complete demolition but decent. The place got super busy so there was a lull between my 2nd and 3rd bowls of about 10 minutes. This was all my stomach needed to get full on me. I did manage to put away another 2 after that but I was pretty full. All in all not too bad and I'll be ready for tomorrow's brick(swim+bike+run) workout.
Today's long swim went quite well. At least I can tell I improved. I swam the exact same time as two weeks ago to the second but went 100 yards further. Wild stuff...I keep working on technique that I keep reading about on various websites and forums. I'm still a long ways off from my goal time but I still have time.
I'm keeping my bike mileage up so I can carry a nice base into the winter months where all my mileage will be on the trainer inside sweating to death.
I'm hopeful tomorrow's workout goes well. It will be interesting to attempt a 5 mile run right after the 90 mile bike. I'm hopefully my legs will be good as the whole goal of the bike is to stay within my limits so they are not toast.
The weekend is here so naps are on the agenda and just more sleep in general. Excellent!
