The Four States Triathlon is this upcoming Sunday, and my goal is to beat my time from last year.
I got up Monday to ride for 45-50 minutes at 6:30am, but it was sprinkling, so my plans changed! I waited until after work and got me a good weights workout in, followed by a crappy swim workout. I felt out of rhythm, and only ended up doing 500 yards overall, in increments of 50 and 100 yards.
Today, I got another good weights workout in, but then followed it with a much better swim. Looking back, my pace for the swim in the Four States was 2:33/100 yards. So today, I just wanted to time myself, but do 2x200 yards warmup, 5x100 yard sprints with 30 seconds between each, then a very easy 200 cool down. The first 200 warmup I did nice and slow, and was just under a 2:00/100 pace. The second warmup 200 had the same result. I then did my 100's at 1:39, 1:40, 1:40, 1:41, 1:41. That's great improvement for me. I tried to go REALLY slow for my cool down, but still did the 200 in 3:53, again, under the 2:00/100 pace.
Overall, it was a good workout day for me, and definitely a confidence builder for my swim Sunday.
