Another two days

That's another two days of training knocked off and I'm feeling pretty damn good! Last night I made my way to the pool for a nice swim before I went to my EMBA board meeting and tonight I hit the bike for a great ride!

The swim was a whopping 300M that started with a 50M warm up, followed by 4X50M with 15 seconds of rest between and closed out with a nice relaxing 50M cool down. I did my swim in the Olympic pool and I sucked slough water the hole time. I helped shovel by hand 14M of fillcrete at work during the day so my arms were a little on the tired time. But never the less I got my swim in and I am happy with that!

On to the bike! I hate riding the trainer! The good news is that I should be riding outside starting next week. I might even try it on Sunday weather permitting. But I did do 0:32:06 at a good average of 90 RPM for 17 KM with an average heart rate of 125 BPM. All in all I am pretty happy with that but I can't wait to get outside and actually ride on the road!

I like to be able to track my heart rate now. I think that that is a very important thing to do when you are training for triathlon. Let's me know what my target heart rates are for all disciplines and helps me get them to work together.

Well enough with boring you for yet another night. I'm off to my bed. Have a great day tomorrow!
