Wednesday: 56 mile bike; 1250 yard swim; abs

Swim at lunch. 50 lengths easy. No rest.

Bike 56 miles. Felt fantastic again. I really cannot believe how great I am feeling on the bike or the power I am putting out, especially at the low heart rates. It's a weird feeling because I am on the trainer, so I don't feel like I am going any faster than I used to ride. And even when I look up at the watts, it doesn't feel any different than putting out fewer watts yet averaging the same heart rate. So on many levels, it seems almost unbelievable the power that I am pushing. Today's ride was easy, staying in zone 1 and low zone 2 throughout. I didn't have any Gatorade, so I ate a Powerbar and drank about 2-2.5L of water during the ride. I averaged 140bpm.
