I took the day off today to pick up my new toy at Bike Barn. I hadn't had a day off at work in a while, so it was a good excuse. After my fit, I rode the bike home and prepared for my first true ride. The USA 10 miler course goes a lot quicker by bike. Stats were:
Bike workout #1
11.9 miles
37 minutes
19 mph
145 avg HR
During the ride I thought cycling is a lot more boring than running. After it was over, however, I felt pretty good. Cycling is going to be fine for the triathlon. Since I am a runner, that leaves only the swim which is daunting. On the other hand running after a hard ride seems like it might give me a headache.
On Thursday I swam 600 yards in about 15.5 minutes and went on the spinner for 35 minutes at an 136 HR.
Tomorrow will be a rest day and Sunday maybe a long bike ride.
Still targeting March 1 to run again.
