Friday was a shorter workout, yet still taxing. I did 15 minutes swimming, fast and consecutively, followed by a 15 minute run. I'm not sure how far I went in the water, but I know I did my 15 minute run at an 8:28/mile pace. That's QUICK for me.
Today was a triathlon! Harold and I did 30 minutes in the pool, followed by a 90 minute ride, then 30 minute jog. My main focus today was hydration, nutrition, and heart rate. Based on how I felt when I finished, I'd say I had a good workout.
This was my first wetsuit swim, and I covered 1700 yards in the 30 minutes. That's consecutive swimming, no breaks. After a quick transition, I got out and covered 24.69 miles in 1:28.35. I did it at a 16.72mph pace. The second half of my ride was a tad slower as I was already thinking about conserving for my jog.
I had a very quick second transition, and got out for my jog on a good pace. My legs felt pretty good, and I was going harder than I think I will in Galveston, but I figured that should be ok with just the 30 minute run as opposed to 13.1 miles. I ended up doing 3.25 miles, and covered that at a 9:10 pace. My running is definitely getting better!
It was a great confidence builder today, especially that swim. I truly feel like the ride and run will be very manageable once I get my pasty white butt out of that water!!!
Almost there...
