Team Triathlon Today

Today would have been spent as a recovery day for me after yesterday's awesome run, but instead, I had to meet up with the rest of Team Michigan for our first "practice" triathlon. What is a practice triathlon? For us, it was putting together all three emphases today (swimming, biking and running). Just like a real traithlon. We didn't go the full Olympic distance today, but we weren't far off.

So what did today entail? We did our full distance swim today (.9 mile), and then quickly transitioned to our bike station (which was on our bike trainer since it's still way too cold and icy to ride outside). We rode our bikes for an hour (that equated to around 15 miles, about right for a sprint distance race. As soon as we were done, we had to quickly change into our outdoor running clothes and knock out a 4 mile run.

I have to admit that my legs were a bit fried today as a result of yesterday's run. But I was able to run without INTENTIONALLY stopping. I did have to stop one time, and that was because I got caught having to wait for a train on the way back. Don't tell anyone, but I'm very thankful that it was a long train. *smile*
