Cool down
200

Total yardage - 3800 yards

A beautiful specimen rockin a Speedo joined me with 1000 left to go. My oh my, he was a beauty. During the cool down we swam side by side, what a great way to end the swim!

PM Run -
1 mile warm up around the track
5 min stretch
Easy run up Twilliger hills :) 5.2 ish miles
cool down with 15 min run barefoot on the grass around the track - did 9 loops which is just a tad bit over 2 miles in 16 mins - I have NEVER run an 8 min pace so easy before. Makes me think I'm wearing the wrong kind of shoes....if any at all. I <3 barefoot running.

I love barefoot style running too--a fast cadence and no more knee pain!

Speaking of barefoot running, have you ever tried the Vibram five fingers?

I workout with a girl who wears them and she loves them! I've only seen one person in a race with them, but she said her times improved once she started running in them. They look fun!
