Today was another success! I am crazy tired so this will be short and I hope to blog more about it tomorrow!
The workouts….20 mile bike, 2 mile run and 1/2 mile swim….weird order I know but that is how it happened.
Swim – 925 yds/ .52 miles
My avg per 100 yards was 1.49 and I really need to get that under 1.40….next time!! 🙂
This was my second swim after having my baby, 15 months ago, so I am SLOW to get back but I will in due time. I need to be faster in the pool but for just started out, I am pleased with how I did. I need to take my watch next time with me. I had my 610 with me but there is NO way I am putting that in the pool so there was a guy there who fortunately had a watch and gave me my time. I started out only swimming 825 but then I realized I was 100 m short of where I needed to be so I did another 4 laps.
My 825 yd time was aprox 15 mins. My 925 time is an estimate as again, I did not have my watch with me.

Brilliant Ride! Felt very tired this morning but pulled myself out of the haze of fatigue and soreness to get in an amazing workout. I wanted to ride under 49 mins but I was just over….next time right?!?! I dug deep today. Riding on the balls of my feet to increase my down stroke. I need to get clips for my Lemond to help my overall speed and performance as it does on my road bike. It really does make a HUGE difference! I will try and get this done this week to help with next weeks workouts.
The final minutes of my ride….aprox 5 -6 mins….I lowered down on my aerobars, closed my eyes and PRESSED HARD keeping my resistance high. Felt a strong burn in my thighs but I have to say I loved every second of it. I must love pain 🙂
Run – Great run! Still taking it easy with the knee so I only did 2 miles. My first mile was a run/walk then the second mile I ran and my knee did quite well.
Ezekiel granola with oats and a peach, soy milk and stevia along with tea.
Post ride shake – Garden of Life Raw meal with greenberry Shakeology, spinach, Vitamineral Green, cantaloupe, strawberries and banana with soy milk
Veggie juice from last night…see yesterdays blog.
Salad – Black beans, avocado, jicama, pico, lettuce with mrs dash fiesta lime and lime juice and a whole grain hemp tortilla.
The BEST Vegan Protein Power I have tried yet! SUNWARRIOR!!!!!
