Day 131: 5.4mi, 47:32

Another cool day in London, but for some reason I could not get my HR under control. I felt like I was going slower than when I ran the same route Sunday (and I was), but my HR was above 140 most of the time. I averaged 141 for the run, which is well above my low HR limit of 137, but I just didn't feel like slowing down for some reason today. I keep questioning whether this low HR training is preparing me for race conditions. A lot of the devotees recommend raising intensity as a race approaches, although the diehards disagree. I guess I want to mix it up more as my tri approaches, and as I start working towards my next mile attempt (mid-June, if I am healthy).
