Thursday January 7, 2010:
So, what did I do today? Actually, what didn't I do today? This is one of those days that I try to tell people to avoid unless there were special circumstances. Well, this whole week is a special circumstance that validates doing 3 workouts in one day.
I'll only briefly summarize each workout toady to keep this blog short.
First up was the swim. Totalling 3100 meters, this was mostly a low intensity affair with paddles and fins. The only timed set to note here was the 100 meter sprint in the end, going 1:12 in the set. Not a bad time.
Secondly was the run on the treadmill. It was only 4 easy miles at a 10 minute mile pace.
Third was the bike on the Computrainer, doing a hilly 8 mile course 2.5 times for a total of 20 miles in length. I only averaged about 14 MPH for the whole thing.
On top of that, I needed to work with my father today involving lifting heavy things for 3 hours in the afternoon. Of all the physical exertions I did today, the heavy lifting part was probably the most intense.
The reason why I'm doing 3 per day is because of the trip to Puerto Rico. I will not bring my bike down there, and I'm not sure if there is the availability of lap swimming down there, so I need to complete a week's worth of swimming and cycling by tomorrow evening.
In Puerto Rico, I will probably only be available to run, so I will definitely pick up the mileage next week.
Lastly, the week's totals... 5500 meters of swimming, 70 miles of cycling, and 12 miles of running. Don't worry about the running; it'll definitely pick up next week. :-)
