And it sort of counts as running...

So I did the whole length of the run section as my long run today. 4 miles all told, no stopping. I kept my HR between 155-170 and plodded along at 13 min-ish mile. Sigh. At least I finished and set a benchmark for myself. Ran in my new kicks - pretty sweet!

53:54 time
Avg 167
Max 179 (achieved when I cranked it up for the last 100 yds or so)

Then I power napped and now I am cleaning and packing for camp.

Saturday

Got in my masters swim this morning. 62 minutes of swimming and drills, 2100 total yards, avg HR of 139. Good times. I realized this morning that I am now required to say that my first triathlon is NEXT MONTH!!!

AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

:)

I am ready. Just helping out with the kiddos at the moment and then I am headed out for a long ride.

Rest Happy Rest

I am enjoying an off day. I did however buy some new running kicks today. My middle school youth group raised $100 to offset the cost. :D

Big shout out to Connor, Brooks, Kat, and the folks at Spoke N Wheel for getting my ride bike back in order. Have the 700x25s back on, extra tubes, a chain cleaning kit, and I am ready to ROCK!!! Woohoo - reporting on a road ride tomorrow!

This morning I swam. Did a 600 yd warmup and then swam a 750 before running home. Cam had to get to church early today. Praying for her kids' performances tonight.

My Tri Story

Just keep swimming

So yesterday I swam at Masters for a total of 2200 yards. Yeah me :) Today I am off for a ride and then strength training. We had an earthquake today. I think it convinced me I have an inner ear issue as the 20 secs of rolling gave me a massive headache. Sigh... Working on a video for BeginnerTriathlete. I will share it with you later.
