1500y straight through swim

BIKE 1hr and 17.5 miles, mostly ILTs and VGRs
SWIM 1hr and 2500y, with a 1500y straight through on 1:02/50y

The bike seems like another one of those "you know you're in iron training when..." type of workouts. WU then do sets of ILTs and VGRs then CD. Bulk building. Aerobic base stuff. The 5th day in a row I've been on the trainer...

The swim was a nice test of a continuous swim. The goal effort was 75%, which is really hard to define for me in the water. I set the Tempo gadget to 1:02 and was able to stay ahead of the beep until my goggles started needing to be drained. Either way, 1:02/50y wasn't hard to pull off.

What was hard to manage was my fatigue the rest of the day. I am still sorting out my TAD nutrition. Today I ate half a powerbar between the bike and swim. I was OK until early-mid afternoon when my energy and mental capacities just tanked.

So I've added to my to-do list a review of the Paleo Diet for Athletes guidelines to see what I can do to improve on this. I suspect I need more fast-burning carbs. Right now I'm doing a sweet potato pre-workout, that seems to be enough for the first hour and some of the second. It's the second and recovery I need to improve on.
