Okay, so the short workouts as part of the taper are kind of fun. After the grueling longer workouts, there is something kind of nice about running for an hour with friends. Way less pressure, way more fun.
3,000 yards in the pool only takes an hour. Just enough time to enjoy the water. Not long enough for you to curse the Gods for requiring so many laps to not DNF a race.
I suppose it is like that "How many licks to get to the Tootsie Roll center of Tootsie Pop" type of question. How many laps is enough to not shame yourself in an Ironman? Indeed, the world may never know!
Tomorrow is a 50 minute bike ride before the big packing day on Thursday.
Weather Update
Chance of rain is up to 50% for Sunday in NH. Drops to 10% for Monday so I'm guessing the big chance for rain is in the morning. Swimming in the rain is okay. Let's just hope the roads are dry by the time the bike legs starts. I actually hope it does rain during the run.
The one thing that cannot happen is the swim gets turned into a run because of lightening. No sir, that is just not allowed.
