The Brickyarders ran on Sat, minus one member who had trouble locating us. In an effort to make technology work for us, we are trying to establish a cell phone contact so we don't leave anyone behind.
I decided to forgo the Petit race today. The cause is good, but I really need to put in some good training hours. I was able to ride yesterday afternoon. I've just intalled aero bars on my bike. It is a totally different posittion to ride in, and takes a lot of getting used to so I was practicing with that. I really am not sure if I have all of the adjustments right, I might need to see a bike fitter to be sure.
Today, I did a nice hilly ride, followed by hill running. By the time that was all finished it was about 11:30 am, and I had nearly melted into the pavement.
I was able to make it back to the pool in the late afternoon. The tips and drills that Lynne Cox gave me are awesome. My stroke used to take a lot more energy and really was not all that fast. Now I feel like I kind of glide along, taking breaths only every three strokes, on both sides, learning to sight,ect. I am anxious to see how things go in my next Tri, which is coming up next month.
Tomorrow 7/19 is the first day of the runner's world NYC Marathon training program. The workout is listed as a rest day, I think I can handle that!!!!
