| Mixture of strokes including 4 X 100 free in 135-140. I did not use my legs much swimming these so made them a little slower. Did some kicking also. Tried to do some fast 50 breastroke just catching the person in front of me so had to switch to dog paddle. Some of this time is just hanging on the wall in between intervals. |

| Weightlifting 1:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| Lifted mostly for upper body trying out some of the new machines the gym purchased. They are real nice and one-pectoral back works the upper back a lot. Lifted some for my legs with very light weight. Feel the weight a lot just the massage last night helped me feel better. Had another good night of sleep so caught up and back on EST. |

| Tucson Marathon |
| Running race 3:17:53 [5]26.22 mi (7:32 / mi) vdot: 47.8 | |
| |
| Finished 10th women and 106th out of 1149 finishers and fourth Masters. With the age-grade ended up 26th overall. Yes, the race was brutal. The downhill running was great just the 20-30 mph headwinds that I encountered from mile 10-25 were tough. After most of the field had left me far behind- this time I was in about 600th place I passed people after mile 8 and all the way to the finish line. Tried to stay behind people to block the wind just the field has slowed so much just ran by. My half way split was 1:35:12. The splits on the web page are inaccurate. Thought the winds would not last that long as we were dropping elevation figured the mountains would slow the wind speed. At times the wind was so strong that when I broke contact with the road the wind pushed me into other runners so I was hitting someone in the legs, upper body or stepped on their foot. The women's winner already qualified for the Olympic trials and she won with a time of 2:59. Beautiful mountain views the whole way in. |
