March 11 - Completing the Triple - 20 Mile Bike and 1900 Meter Swim

PM Workout #1: 20 Mile Bike on Computrainer

Course: First 20 miles of Columbia Course.
Total Time: 1:17:33
MPH 15.5
Watts - 151

After the easy 5 mile run this morning, and some of the other work that had to get done today, I found myself training lightly on Computrainer. This was an easy ride, designed to get ready for the hard 8 mile run tomorrow.

PM Workout #2 - 1900 Meter Swim

1x500 warmup
1x100 Easy Paced Freestyle w/ Fins
4x100 snorkels, easy, untimed
--------
1900m swim total

I had to debate whether to do this workout today. Not because I was tired, but whether I wanted to finish my weekly mileage in the swim this early. Three days without swimming (Monday would be the next time I would swim) is a bit of a stretch, but I decided to do it anyway. The ideal time would have been Friday night, but the pool is closed early, and Saturday and Sunday mornings would be tough to put in because it would interfere with my running and cycling. In addition, if I didn't swim, I would have to run instead, and I wanted to save my legs for tomorrow's hard run. So it would be in the best interest to finish the weekly swim distance off tonight.

As stated, this was real easy to do. The theme here was to smoothen out my stroke over a set distance, and that I did easily yesterday in the 1000 meter set.

I did the triple (run in the AM, bike and swim in the PM). For the week, I am done swimming. 7000m worth. Bike and run weekly totals are getting there. Hard run tomorrow, Hard bike either Saturday or Sunday. And a REALLY tough week shaping up for next week.
