I was top third on the swim. It felt like yesterday that I was one of the last out of the water. Progress! My race time was 56:03. My previous best was 1:03.
Very good progress. Well done.
Eric- Dont know how a watch can measure deep vs light sleep. I saw this on my new Garmin just not sure I believe it.
Berto- Yeah the shin is still a bit sore post run but not too bad. A coupe more days of easy running should help. Trying to eat a ton of blueberries to keep any inflammation down. I'm not sweating it.

I was just mentioning it to compare to SIAR's post saying his watch measures only one hour of deep sleep during a night. If Garmin's algorithm is consistant, however it measures it, I seem to be doing better than him at sleeping tight.
I figure the watch must use its internal accelerometer to check if you're moving, and also how steady your HR is. But that is only speculation of my part. I don't know how they do it, and I don't know how relieable it is.
Super B****
Not sure Garmin's algorithms know what they're doing, themselves...

Go figure
'Morning. I had a good race last night (off-road sprint tri). It's a weekly series and I've done maybe a dozen of them. Yesterday was my fastest one by a lot, in all three disciplines. I am most happy about my swim. 1:36/100 yd pace for 440 yards. I've never swam that fast before, and it's the first time my swim rank was higher than my bike rank, and I am a decent biker. Just to put it in a way runnerfolk might understand, that's probably equal to like a 7:30 run pace. I was top third on the swim. It felt like yesterday that I was one of the last out of the water. Progress! My race time was 56:03. My previous best was 1:03. Finished 21/90 overall. A lot of fast folks use these races for training. Speaking of swim, I was up early today to swim 2500 yards before work. Run later.

Nice improvement! It's a lot more fun when you PR by a big chunk as opposed the the few seconds that we typically get!

Missed this! Nice job!

It seems to not factor in weather conditions. If it's a hot day, your training is suddenly unproductive.

SIAR - Take pics!
Whiskers - My vote is for Hansons.
Jay - I didn't know that blueberries were good for inflammation. Learned something new today!
blue - Your garmin pic reminded me of certain years of my love life, and it would have made perfect sense.
3/17 - NYC Half
4/28 - Big Sur Marathon DNS
6/29 - Forbidden Forest 30 Hour
8/29 - A Race for the Ages - will be given 47 hours
7 miles with 4 X 4 mins at 4% and 10K pace done. They weren't as bad compared to the first time I did these two weeks ago (at 2 mins).
7.75 with 6 x 5 minutes tempo effort.

+1, which should be no surprise that that's the plan I'm using.
