Indoor Triathlon -

Recumbent Bike 4 miles - 15:38 Total time (with transitions) - 34:30
I gotta say, there was a lot of pressure for me to win this silly triathlon. Several guys have come to my cubicle over the past two weeks and told me their times and what I would have to beat. I only wish that this was back in November when I was in tip-top marathon shape!
Warmed up 2 miles, followed by lots of stretching and massaging for my feet. Then hit the treadmill. The time starts as soon as you push start and it took forever to get the treadmill up to 10.5mph. I felt really strong for the first 1.4 miles then got a little tired because I haven't run fast besides a few 200s this year. 11:37 is not too bad - really a relief because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to even hit 6 min/miles with my lack of fast running. Transitioned to the elliptical and put the resistance at 8. Quite a workout to move the legs at 230 strides/min - I was breathing pretty hard! Final leg of recumbent bike. The one here at work leans back really far which is kinda awkward when you're trying to pedal fast. Resistance at 8 here too. My transitions lacked any grace - almost fell off the treadmill and the elliptical :o)
Overall, a great workout. I beat my competition (even despite my lack of fitness) so I have bragging rights now until next time. Also, I beat my time from last year by 1:45 too - I hope that's a good omen! The biggest accomplishment is that my feet gave me no problems at all! Looks like I'll be able to start tempos in the next couple weeks. Anyways, thought it would be fun to post as a race report. PM - Easy 3.2 miles around Sugarhouse.
