Fabulous Friday

Today I did a swim/bike/run of sorts. It wasn't the usual triathlon type, and also wasn't a brick. But it was a fun and satisfying day.

Swim

I spent a lot of time working on form today. Was also happy with the 400 in the middle today. I think that concentrating on form paid off.

100 - W/U
200 - 2x100 pull - drills
300 - 3x100 fins - drills
400 - mod/easy timed (8:31!)
300 - 100/100/100 pull/fins/crawl
200 - 4x50 breast up/crawl back
100 - cool down

(Motorized) Bike

Here's the deal. I bought my scooter in early Feb. Couldn't ride it the first weekend because I hadn't taken care of insurance. I was sick for the next two weekends and couldn't do much of anything, much less ride. Last weekend I could have ridden it, but didn't. Today, I *FINALLY* took it out for the first ride.

It was a lot of fun! I'm getting more comfortable with balance and handling and such. Hope to ride more tomorrow. I'm anxious to turn this into part of my regular commute.

Run

7 mile EZ run, minimal walk breaks. Once again, I have it broken down by quarter miles. Overall pace ended up 12:28 min/mi, distance was 7.11mi.

  11. Form work always pays off in swimming. Even if you (like me) grumble the whole time you do it.

  12. Well done you!

    I am seriously impressed. And slightly envious of your scooter. Though here in London we are bracing ourselves for THE storm of the decade...so maybe not such a good idea atm.

    And being the nerd I am...How do you make those chart thingies for your splits?
