Training Day 88/100

Wondering what this post is about? I'm planning on doing a triathlon.

Today was a long and fun day, but no official training. I joined some family at Como Zoo for my niece's birthday and we all walked around for a couple of hours looking at all of the animals which was really fun. Then tonight we went an walked a comedic performance of the entire works of Shakespeare in a park in Eagan which was very entertaining. We did have a nice short hike through the woods to get to the stage.

So I did a lot more walking today than on a typical day, and it made me tired. But this will go down as a day off.

Training Day 87/100

I did another brick today and it was close to the triathlon distances. This morning I had a nice 13 mile ride on the bike before heading out on a 2.7 mile run. The end of the bike ride was mostly uphill and into the wind so it was quite a workout at the end. And I did the run at a pretty slow pace. But all-in-all I felt really good about the whole thing. And while my legs are definitely tired tonight I am feeling better than I might have expected. Tomorrow I really need to get in the pool. Hopefully I'll make it happen.

It was a lighter day today, which seems to be typical for a Friday as we had plans with friends this evening. I got up early and took Boudreaux on a 1.61 mile walk around our big loop. Then tonight I did 3 pull-ups and 40 squats.

Not bad all-in-all. I went to the club this evening for a swim. I did 500m which is the most I've done so far. It still isn't without little breaks every 50m and it certainly isn't with a crowd of people in open water, but it felt better that any other swimming session so far. Then before heading to bed I got in 3 pull-ups. I couldn't quite get to 4 after swimming.

Yesterday I was feeling pretty exhausted, especially after a bunch of yardwork. And then I just spaced on the blogging aspect.

Tonight Allison, Boudreaux, and I went on a 1.3 mile walk tonight. And I finished up with a new record of 4 pull-ups and 30 push-ups.

You know what's crazy? I'm doing a triathlon in 20 days.

Today was a pretty good day of training. I rode 3 miles to the gym, swam 300m, rode 3 miles back home, and then tonight after a nice afternoon I ran 2.75 miles with Boudreaux. Not bad, huh?
