2-28-08 (9 of 92) Swim/Bike

Today was 35 minutes on the bike and 18 minutes in the water.

I did dailies first (push ups, sit ups, pull ups, supermans, dips) x2

Then I biked for 35 minutes (11.2 miles) - I had a wicked cramp in my left calf around mile 9. It was kind of funny, because I nearly fell off of a stationary bike trying to get my foot off the pedal and stretch it out.

Then I swam, and had the beginning of a cramp in my right foot somewhere around lap 3 or 4. I did 30 laps in 18 minutes. Still trying to go slowly. I need to try my nose plug again, so I can start to modify my breathing style. I need to be exhaling under water and just breaking the surface to breath - this will keep my head down longer and make me a faster swimmer.


I also started looking at half marathon training guides for the post triathlon months.

Didn't run today - - home/time conflict.

2-26-08 Bike/Swim (7 of 92)

2 rounds of 'dailies' to start the evening off. Then I pedaled for 26 minutes (distinction: today, it was just pedaling, not cycling- all the stationary bikes were in use, and I had to use the reclined bikes, which I hate). The gym was extremely crowded today. I saw a lot of people, look in, shake their head, and just go home.
Then, I hit the pool. I was supposed to swim for 13 minutes, but I forgot my watch, so I just swam 25 laps.

All in all a pretty good day. Very tired after the workout. Still getting back in the nutritional groove, so I kind of ran out of gas towards the end of my swim.
