TRI Class (BRICK) Saturday!!!!  Hooray!  I love this class.  I think one of the reasons I enjoy this class so much is because I get to talk to some fun people.  I almost slept in and bagged the whole workout due to staying up until 1:30 last night.  I decided to go and try to enjoy myself.  

Bike 50 minutes.  Moderate intensity.  Pretty boring and the music stunk.  Everyone in that class mostly talks about upcoming races. 

Swim (mostly kicking) in the pool for about 50 minutes.  I have concluded that I have a really strong kick and my arms aren't as powerful.  It was strange how I zipped past everyone in the pool with my kick, even the guys.  I don't know how I went fast but I just did.

I need to work on my arm strength before I due the Half Ironman.  My swim has improved IMMENSELY!  The swim is now my favorite part of the tri class.  Funny how you change something about your form and then your confidence is boosted.  I still have a lot of work to do but at least I know what I want to accomplish with my swim now. :)

Run 1 mile warm up with a pleasant friend named RAD. :)   I was so excited to see her today after her marathon last week.  We then did two half mile intervals on the track.  RAD flew past me!!!  Dang her!  She really must have not gone fast at her marathon, she had way to much punch in her legs today.  Three more miles around the track.   

Great workout.  Now I am off to making pies for Pie Night!

I think I earned some pies this week! :) I love getting to run with you after spin, I'm SO glad you didn't bag it. Sorry I had to ipod it during the run - I was suppressing the need to be emotional :)

WOW - that sounds like such an awesome workout! Do you already have to kinda-know how to swim? All I really do is back stroke....sad sad sad! Hooray for a fun day!

AWESOME tri-class-workout! They should pay you for coming to that class! You're gonna rock your half ironman! GOOD JOB, Bec! :)

RAD,

If anyone understands why people run with Ipods it's me. You know that I love running with music. Great to workout with you today.

TOBY,

The main reason I took the Tri class was so I could learn how to properly swim. My self-taught stroke was not as efficient as what I can do now. There are a few people in the class that are just learning how to swim. Anyone would benefit from the class. I think they will start another session around Jan/Feb. It has been a great learning tool for me.

Smooth,

I love you. :) That would be really funny if they paid me to come to the class. You make me laugh.

I got a little crazy and decided to commit myself to the Half Ironman in Boise. If I sign up I will have to train and do it!
