Alastair:
Rumor has it, Tri-Geek #1 has been training in secret... hmmm.

Scott:
Nada

14 mile bike ride - with a climb out of Lucas Valley. My butious minimus is feeling like it needs to expand to be more glutious maximus. It is funny how the road bike works some of the same muscles from the TT bike, but also a heck of a lot of other muscles join in the fun. The only downside is that the hip flexers are dwindling.

1.5 mile run - my kingdom for a new hip and knee, that works like when I was 20... still I'm hopeful to get all this business sorted so that 2010 will be fast and fun!

2,200 meters - 800 warm-up (13:17, one minute and 17 seconds to go), 200 kick, 8x25 in 20, 4x50 in 40, 2x75 in 60, 1x100 in 120, 300 stroke work (elbow pause, quick catch, hip shift), 150 warm-down.

The thing that is blowing my mind is the idea that the "arm pull" starts with the transfer of the higher hip downward, which drags the arm with it. The videos keep saying the "it's all connected" but I'm still moving in two pieces... no wonder the 14 year olds in the next lane are perpetually kicking my butt! ... of course they went to the junior olympics last week. ;-o
