Getting it done in the Cold

The training motto for the next little while is "get it done", and gratefully my training partners are going to hold me to it. Well Jack Bauer will too, after watching 4hours of 24 this week.
The weather here has taken a gigantic shift and it is very cold, -22F cold. You can tell by my Yellow Knitted socks, while i was caught by Car not stretching in the living room but rather sleeping. The past couple of days have been good but tough. The next couple weeks of training will feature a good swim/run focus.
Monday- was a recovery ride
Tuesday- Swim am with University Swim team (6.5kms). It featured a bunch of fast 400's and Ryan Smith and a mate named Micheal Murray were keeping it real and making me work, i thought some low 440s would be good but Murray would fight back and took it to us.
After the swim mid morning was a tempo run with some tempo 10minute efforts on the tready @11.0mph, not too fast but eventually it hurt.
Later in the day Ryan took one for the team and joined me for another swim session of 3.5kms.
So after 10k of swimming and a hard tready run it was early to bed.
Today was another 3 workouts starting with a 5km IM focus swim with the Masters Squad in Sudbury. After some breakfast i did a 90minute Cycling workout with 4x10mins @TT power and hrt. Here is the power from that session: 318watts,332watts,329watts,332watts.
And i just finished up a 90minute Run session @ 7min mile pace pretty chillaxed. So a pretty solid day but i am a little smoked which is when the picture took place of me sleeping on the floor.
I hope everyone is staying warm.
