I slept in today, and I liked it. :D
So I had to get all of my workouts in this evening. We went out to the reservoir with the tri club, and I once again tackled the open water swim. It wasn't as choppy today, and I guess the water must be getting warmer, or I'm getting more used to it, because it didn't feel as cold as it usually does. Anyway, I felt really good the whole time, and I think I may be ready to try going the full mile - yay! As it is, I finished a half mile, with only very short stops at the rocks. It was a MUCH better experience than last week.
After the swim, I hopped on my bike and did the very hilly loop around the lake and back. I rode with my friend Gwyn, and we decided to add a few extra miles to the 15 mile ride, so we ended up with 20.25 in 1:21:22.
After we got back to the parking lot, I quickly changed shoes and took off for a transition run. It was already late, so I told Ben to pick me up as soon as he had the bikes loaded, and I ran down the road. I managed to get two miles in before he caught up to me, and I finished them in 15:49...a most pleasing time for me in general, not to mention after having ridden 20 miles of hills.
So, all in all, it was a good day. :D |
