Trifecta 1 of 4

I began today's trifecta with a bike in Central Park. I tried to make sure to keep my HR within the appropriate zone. I think I did a good job, though I may have popped out of Z4.

Followed the bike with the swim. Great effort here.

L1 54.94 L6 59.6 L11 55.55 L16 61.71
L2 59.44 L7 59.15 L12 60.98 L17 60.62
L3 61.77 L8 64.42 L13 59.12 L18 60.83
L4 58.15 L9 56.14 L14 58.74 L19 58.4
L5 58.23 L10 55.84 L15 54.38 L20 55.59
R 62.69 R 71.1 R 64.7

Average lap time is 58.68. I'll take that, for sure. Lap 8 experienced a swim clip slip, and I stood up to fix it. "R" equals rest time. I find that my first lap of a set always seems faster than the effort.

Finished up with the run late this evening. It was funny running for such a short time, when I've been doing long sets recently. I tried to keep my pacing at Z2 (around 10:00 mile) for 3 minutes, Z3 (at 8:45-9:00 mile) for 3 minutes, and Z4 (around 8:00 mile) for 4 minutes. Flipping through the data on my way home, I hit this target in the second set, but went over in the first set. I actually went too fast in Z4... max pace was 7:12, average 7:37, which took my HR too high.
