First, here are the new bike shorts I got yesterday. They're cheap, and they're just plain black, but they are sooo comfy! (and I happen to think they make my legs/butt look nice!)
Tri training has gone well this week, capped off by a fast 1200M swim on Friday, a great 3 mile hill run yesterday, and my longest bike ride ever - 30"ish" miles - today. By the time I finished, I was soaked, dripping wet, and shivering. Hello, Seattle, it's supposed to be June!! I just hit the trail and followed the Burke-Gilman up to the Sammamish River Trail (which apparently has a few short but steep hills that I wasn't expecting) and rode out to Red Hook Brewery in Woodinville. Unfortunately I didn't have time to stop in for a beer! I felt pretty good about the ride, nothing really hurts (although my quads are feeling it a bit now), and I rode the second half 6 minutes faster than the first half. Onward and upward...!
And now that I have my new gym, I've tweaked my weekly training to look like this:
Monday - Master's swim (AM), long run (PM)
Tuesday - Spinning (AM), yoga (PM)
Wednesday - Open water swim practice, easy run
Thursday - Easy bike, run workout
Friday - Long swim
Saturday - Easy run
Sunday - Long bike
And finally, I signed up for the Seafair Triathlon today. It is less than a month away and I didn't want to risk it selling out! Also, can't wait for the Seattle Rock N Roll 1/2 this Saturday!
