Swimming realization number one: I am not Michael Phelps.
Swimming realization number two: I need help with my tecnique. It kind of sucks.
I'm hoping the swimming will get a little easier when I get into the pool on Thursday. At the crack of dawm mind you. I was there at 5:00 am after closing at work until 10:30. I was very proud of my ambition.
It needs work. So much so I'm going to see if I can work an extra swim day in on my rest days just to practice kicking.
With the way I was breathing and struggling through laps you'd never guess that I can cycle for 20-30 miles without a break or that I can run eight miles in a single session. Nah. I looked like an amateur. Which, I kind of am. *sigh*
Running was great today! I hit almost four miles in thirty minutes. I hauled. I had a great sprint at the end. A couple hundred yards where I must have been running 9-10 mph. So that part of the training is going well.
Brick workout tomorrow. I need some time to get adjusted to the new bike too. It's a different gear shifting setup, so that's going to be interesting. Plus I have to learn to cycle in a new position.
My bike is ready at 4:00 and I can't wait to take a ride in it after yoga. But first I have to install my cleats and work on these new fancy pedals.
I have a busy week, but I'll try and mark my progress in the blog as much as I can!
BTW, I lost two pounds last week. Which to some is a victory, but I'm trying to cling to body fat so I can have the energy to run this triathlon, so every pound lost is a little discouraging. I have to eat more, and that's hard when you've been on a maintenance diet for so long. *sigh*
Gotta go to work!
