Official training starts Monday.
Today's workout was a quick five mile run that was a struggle is so many ways. I couldn't get my body in the right alignment, I couldn't find a comfortable pace, and my breathing was funky. There were more walking breaks than I care for too.
Tomorrow I'll go out on the old bike and put some miles in. I haven't been on it as much because of all the rain. It's a goodbye run. Or at least goodbye until after the triathlon. I plan to keep it as a neighborhood/easy ride bike and maybe do some offroad stuff with it.
My new bike has been purchased and is being assembled as we speak and will be ready for Tuesday. Just in time for me to ride it on my bike training day. She's so pretty.
In other news I'm actually looking forward to brick training. It seemed scary at first, but I think I'll find it fun.
Now I need to work on my swimming. Especially my form and breathing since both things are out of practice entirely. If I need to doggy paddle for 1/2 mile, I will! But I'd like to swim the right way and not embarass myself!
Getting back into the swing of yoga after that one week hiatus. Man, it's tougher than I thought. I don't lose any of the flexability and endurance, but I get so sore! It'll go away soon once I'm back into regular practice three to four days a week.
I plan to log my workouts on the blog leading up to the tri so I can go back and see what's working and what's improving. So an advance sorry for the tedium of training notes! :)
Gotta eat lunch! It's late!
