What's with the wind? It never goes away in the Gap.
Swam 1x1500 at the pool yesterday. Stroke count is 9-10 per arm per 25yds. That's better than usual 11-12. But my speed went away. 22:33 for a 1500? What happened?! I wasn't killing myself, but I wasn't lolly-gagging either. That's right....water was about 85 degrees.
I'm now biking at lunch instead of running, this week anyway. I go for about a 40 minute ride. Nice that the workplace now has a shower! The wind never stops on this ride. I just hope that the saying "bike will help the run, but run won't help the bike" is true because this not running stuff is killing me. My leg feels fine when walking flat, up, and down, but I don't want to risk getting back on it too early. Next week I'll get back at it. Probably start running in the mornings with Paul...not sure how that's going to work out, though.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
