Gotta do a better job of Blogging, and get faster....

Today's workout....

23 miles cycling got avg. 17 mph.  Would have been faster but traffic was heavy and wasn't comfortable in the aerobars, AND I got lost.  I worked from home this afternoon and played hookey between calls for the ride between 3:30 and 5.  I had calls 5 - 6.

2000 yards in the pool shortcourse, immediately after my last call.

400 Warmup (100 swim, 100 kick, 25 R. Arm, 25 L. Arm, 25 catchup, 25 3R3L 6 cycles, 100 Swim)
2 X 5 X 50 on 1:00  held 35 seconds 
1X 5 X 100 on 2:00 came in between 1:15 and 1:30 (lotta work to do there)
20 X 25 on :30 cooldown
100 Warmdown stroke drills.

I've signed up for the Triangle Triathlon here in Raleigh at Sharon Harris Park.  750M swim, 14 mile bike, 5K run.  I've figured my goals to be

Swim 12:00 includes run to transition
T1  2:00
Bike 42:00       20mph pace
T2  2:00
Run         24:00     7 something pace 
Total       1hour 22 minutes.

I've been working on doing some tempo running and cycling in group rides with a local bike shop.

Anyway....More to follow!

  1. Dude - you can do better than 2 min transitions! No wet suit right?

    Hope the training is going well -
