Todde's Tri Blog

over the past several days i have missed a few workouts due to various reasons. i did get a few good swim workouts in but the others have been so so. that is until i hit it hard yesterday. yesterday was a bike/run workout at high intensity. i still need to stick with some slow easy stuff but i feel like i need some speed as well for captex. the workout yesterday was 4x10min bike/5min run fast. the bike seemed to be the tough one (would hit hard for 3min and ease up a bit for 2min), especially after running. the running went well and i finshed each .8 mile loop around 4:55 (6:15 pace). i could probably hold that pace for a 5k but would need to slow the pace by 20 to 30 sec for 10k. i am trying to get more comfortable running with my HR around 150 for an extended period. i was really spent after the workout and my right knee was really tender below the kneecap. today will be a light swim and maybe i light spin tonight.

did the 5k march of dimes walk this past weekend. after beeing in the sun for 3hrs on my feet i was worn out. i had planned a bike workout sat evening but that was not happening. it was a good cause and i am glad i went. it was amazing to see people struggling to walk 3 miles. i guess i take my health for granted now and expect others to naturally be in deent shape. i forget it took awhile for me to get going. i hope that anyone who had the light come on out there about getting in shape sticks with it b/c plenty of people were looking rough out there.

i sold a bunch of tri stuff on ebay this weekend and made $130. plan to get some running flats and some tires for the bike. need to get the shoes by this weekend so i can break them in for captex.
