Training is going well thus far. I LOVE the swim workouts, especially the speed ones! They are a blast! The other day I did a 1000 yard time trial in 16:30. Pretty pleased with my swimming efforts and how they are going. I feel light and fast in the water.
Last week I did a 30-minute bike, 30-minute run brick workout. It felt AWESOME!! I am sooo ready for a Sprint Triathlon! This long-distance crap is getting to me! Ha!
This morning I did a 90-minute run. The first 75 minutes were easy and then the last 15 were supposed to be a hard effort. Also, at the 50-minute mark I was supposed to consume a gel packet. I took along an orange Energy Gel and my water belt. The first 50 minutes went well. I just moseyed along and enjoyed the run. I consumed my gel packet and was excited that it didn't have nearly as much taste as others I have tried. I could actually handle it and consumed the entire thing! When it came time to pick up the pace for the last 15 minutes, I felt strong and fast and was able to complete the entire 15 minutes at my faster pace! I was excited! My only disappointment was my dang phone died 4.5 miles into the run. I really would've like to see my pace that last 15 minutes.
I have a 60-minute bike followed by a 30-minute run workout to do Thursday and then a big workout on Saturday. 30-minute swim, 2-hour bike, 30-minute run. That will be a good training test. Thankfully, Ryan and I will do it together. Well, we will swim and run together....biking....he's gotta do double the amount of miles I do! :)
