prologue

honestly, i'm not sure i understand what the point of them are. it's only 2.5 miles today (the start of the dauphine libere, one of the last tune-ups before the Tour starts). seconds only separate all of the riders and it really doesn't intimidate anyone or really mean anything if you kill it (see palvodeli in this just finished giro). i don't get it. and i'm also disapointed b/c it's sunday, the one day racing is shown on tv and while i'm excited to watch time trials, prologues just aren't that thrilling.
anyway, took a half day today instead of a whole day...in reality, it's more like a quarter of a day. oh well. i ran for an hour today, not sure of the distance, probably 6 and some change. felt heavy and slow, but we all have those days. i really don't understand why we feel great some days and others we don't, but oh well. then i met up with danielle to swim - did sets of 100's among other things, finished a bit more than 3/4 mile. i think that's the first time i ever did a double workout for a triathlon. it definitely tires you out, but it was still awesome.
i really need to incorporate abs into my workouts. i don't know why i'm so adverse to them. i'd rather do pushups. and i know that makes no sense.
