bike-run

Nice relaxing bike ride today, followed by a light 20 minute run, though my heart rate monitor strap is dying. Either that or I have no heart rate. Some do say I am heartless, so that is a possibility.

training day two

Bike>run>swim. Today was my first bike-run combo. A nice easy 2 mile jog (~18 minutes) after my 11.1 mile ride in to work.

Tomorrow I return to the pool for a little more public humiliation.

I hurt, or why I am triathlon training 9 months in advance

Friday was my first time on aerobars on my bike. That was good. A little more position fiddling, and I think I can pick up speed pretty quickly.

Today was my first time really swimming laps in, well, forever. I know I have swum the length of a pool before, but that 200yard swim this morning just about did me in. Lots o' work to do. A swim coach would be dandy, but represents more of an investment than I am willing to make at this point.

So bicycle good, pool bad. Now I just have to get back in the water on Friday.
