Triathlon Training 2010: Week 7

DAY SCHEDULED ACTUAL COMMENTS
Monday OFF Swim: 400 yards
(11 min,
2.75 min/100 yds)
I planned to do 500 yards but we arrived at the pool near closing time so decided to leave it at 400 yards so the lifeguard could go home!
Tuesday Run: 30 min OFF Busy working.
Wednesday Swim: 500 yards Run: 32 min
(2.3 miles,
13.91 min/mile)
Longest run time (14 min), length (32 min), and distance (2.3 miles) so far. This whole ~13 min/mile has got to go down eventually, I don’t like it. Today was a good example of what time you do the activity doesn’t matter, just get it done. We finished the run after 11pm I think.
Thursday Brick…
Bike:
30 min
Run: 10 min
Walk: 20 min
Brick…
Bike:
26 min
(5 miles,
5.2 min/mile)
Run: 10 min
Walk: 16 min
(R/W: 1.7 miles)
My biking seems to be leveling off or I’m becoming more consistent anyway. I suppose that’s good. This was the easiest transition from biking to walking/running so far. Legs felt a little weird but not nearly like they used to.
Friday Swim: 500 yards OFF Long day. Long week. Time for a rest.
Saturday Run: 50 min OFF Lazy Saturday.
Sunday Bike: 20 miles
Walk: 30 min
Bike: 1 hr 50 min
(20+ miles,
5.5 min/mile)
I found the opposite end of the American Tobacco Trail from last time and rode north this time. I intended to go 15 miles but after I missed some mile markers I realized I’d have to go at least 17 miles so just decided I would try and go for the 20 miles. It went really well until I thought I was going to die during the last 3+ miles. I found my limit I suppose you could say but had no choice but to keep going…tis the problem with a there and back scenario. But, I did it and was in pain shortly thereafter but nothing some ice couldn’t fix and I surprisingly feel fine the day after.

Here is the Google spreadsheet I made to track my progress.
