30 mins spin in the gym hard hills and hard fast speed drills my legs were wobbly and straight onto the mill for a run brick When you stop biking and start running the legs feel “strange” and heavy (this is why they call these workouts bricks!) and the heart rate goes up, as our body tries to switch the blood from flowing into the muscles used for biking to those used for running. This feeling is more pronounced at the start of the run and usually the legs get better as time passes - although probably never as fresh as those you have when you run without biking before it (I wonder why?! ). ok i hit the mill my trainer was in charge of the buttons on the mill, basically made me feel like hell increasing the incline then after about 6% incline each increment was 1 min at that incline!! then 2 mins rest then increments of speed to 16kmph /10mph again at 1 min increments then back down again 1 min increments. 2 mins rest then 1 min increments of alternating the speed and inlcine till i scream wt? at my trainer and nearly fall off the mill. it was hard really hard my legs were heavy and horrid especially after the bike its horrible ugly urghhhh!!!! 5.5km done quit with 3 mins to go next week I WILL DO IT THE WHOLE 30 MINS IF IT KILLS ME AND SCREAMING BLUE MURDER HA HA ok some triathlon jargon explained- BILATERAL BREATHING – breathing to both sides during front crawl. A skill required especially when the waves are coming from one side to avoid swallowing water. i can do this so im ok BONK – it’s the feeling when an athlete runs out of energy, like hitting the wall in the marathon. Light headed very low blood energy available. In many circumstances very difficult to carry on or a drastic reduction in speed. we all know this dont we as we are runners we bonk all the time lol BRICK SESSION – This is combing 2 sports together. It is usually a bike to run or swim to bike for Triathlon or a run to bike for duathlon. A multiple Brick session can be a Bike then run followed shortly after by another bike then run. High intensity keeps good form. BURN – the mark left by a wet suit when it rubs you all thought running chaffing was bad ouch ouch ouch and running in cycle shorts its not nice no way its horrid, but then cycling allot and getting a dead area were you are seated NASTY DEAD LEG SYNDROME – experienced when you have tried to hard on the bike and try and run after. yes it hurts DECA IRONMAN – 10 times the ironman distance.

Just like nailing the bike. Fast and almost effortless. ICE CREAM HEAD – if you have ever had cold ice cream and it’s made your head cold this is the same that you can experience when your head goes into the water. M-DOT – The official name for the Ironman logo. Ironman finishers will often have the M Dot tattoo put on their lower leg. i want one of these lol SPLASH MASH DASH – another description for triathlon.
SPLITS – The different parts of your Triathlon, the Swim, The time it takes to exit the swim get to your bike exit transition, the time it takes to cycle the bike leg, the time it takes to enter transition rack your bike and exit again, the time it takes to complete the run section.
