I don't know what has gotten into me, but I am really enjoying this run/bike thing. Tonight I decided to bike first. I took an out and back course that was slightly uphill the whole way back but still recorded negative splits.
When I started running, my legs felt like lead. I have never done a triathlon, so this was almost an entirely new feeling. Imagine my surprise when I looked down and saw I was running under 9:00 pace! I ran the first mile in 9:09 and then slowed down a bit. Total time was 33:38, average 9:25 pace. This is even more surprising given my supreme laziness over the last month or so!
I think it's safe to say I'm back to regular workouts (although I will not be able to work out every night this week). My clothes are getting too tight, and I REALLY don't want to go up a size. I've been at or below my current size for 4 years, and I'm NOT going back up. I even signed up for St. George today! |
