Day Three:

Pretty solid, but goddamn the pool schedule. I went to the gym at 4:30 with every intention of doing a mini brick (2 mile run and 1K swim), but the pool schedule wasn't what was posted online so instead of opening up for lap swim at 5:00--like it said online--I would have waited until 6:00. Instead of cooling my heels I did push-up pull-up circuts instead and made myself crazy, slurry worn out in something like eighteen minutes.

Diet-wise things were good. I had cottage cheese, strawberries, a fried egg and grapefruit for breakfast. For lunch I had a small bowl of rice with Sriracha (there's a great article about it by John T. Edge in the NYT here: (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/20/dining/20united.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=huy&st=cse) and soy sauce and a cheese sandwich with a Kaiser roll. Dinner was pretty nice too. I had a bowl of Thai Peanut Butter noodles and a celery and mushroom salad. I'm guessing something like 2000 or 2200 kcals.

The damage on the scale wasn't as bad as I expected. I weighed in at a whopping 186 this afternoon. Using the quick and dirty online calculator that means I'm at about 15% body fat.

We're on our way to the big city to do some shopping and hopefully get some bike tuning tomorrow. I'm going to try to get in that swim before we go and then do a run in the afternoon when we're back.
