tempo ride
this morning was a core workout session and some upper and lower body exercises mixed in. as an added bonus i had a baby hanging off me most of thw workout!!!
after lunch i did a 1:45 ride on south mopac. after a 30min warmup i rode 2x 8mile loops at a steady pace a bit higher than i expect to ride in AZ. my avg HR on the first loop was 127 and 132 on the second. i had a 15min easy spin between the 2. my times for both loops were just below 23min. i enjoyed pushing it and the wind was a nice bonus as it helped me work on my balance as well as adjusting from a tailwind to a headwind. from what i hear that will be the case in AZ as the winds change thru out the day. my avg HR for the entire ride was 116.
tomorrow i plan to do a 3 to 3.5 hr bike followed by a 1 to 1.5 hr run. this brick will be my first big test to see how i am progressing. at this point i am feeling good in my swim and bike and the run is coming around after a layoff.
