It's been tough trying to find a place in the week for this workout. My first brick of the training, and frankly, something that I didn't do enough of when I trained for my triathlon. A brick is when you put two activities in the same workout- typically Running and Biking. Today's workout was a 20 minute run- 45 minute bike- 20 minute run.
This workout seems ridiculously hard for week 1. I'm a little confused by the lack of rest and the intensity of the workouts. Maybe Coach Troy is trying to make sure we are up to the task? I'm not sure. None the less, this workout and (again) the HEAT, drove me to the gym. Treadmills and stationary bikes are not my favorite, but it gets the job done.
I believe my final numbers were 1.86miles- 13 miles- 1.72 miles. I forgot to make a mental note when I got off the bike, but that seems about right. And then- I stretched! yea! Of course, I'm always a little better about stretching when I am at the gym. I could have run a lot faster, but this was really comfortable, and considering I struggled with the heat yesterday, I thought I should be a little careful.
Tomorrow, is just weights. I think I might throw in a swim depending on the weather. Now, I'm off to buy a new bike pump!
