4.17.18 Tuesday Training!

Good morning all!

This afternoon I am planning on going to my Tuesday night spin class. We have a new instructor; he subbed for the lady that used to run this class once before. I kinda chuckled when I first met him as he showed up in full kit sans helmet (I would bet that he had one in the locker room!) and clip in shoes.

Speaking of shoes, I am planning on wearing my cycling shoes there tonight for the first time. I figured I would try them on something stationary before I swap out the pedals on my bike.

It is going to be a pretty easy week for me as my first race of the season is this Sunday, the Carmel sprint tri. It's a 400 meter pool swim (50 meter pool snake swim), a 10 mile bike and a 3.1 run. I did pretty horribly at this race last year, so hopefully I will see some improvement this time around. The bike course on this race is pretty unique. It is only 10 miles, but there are 6 roundabouts to navigate. Oh, but it's an out and back, so you have to go through each one twice, so it is 12 roundabouts in 10 miles.

Have a great day,

Well, my spin class plan didn't really pan out for me. The pedals on the spin class accept SPD clips, and the ones that my pedals use are something different. I still did the class, just had to wear sneakers.

On the plus side I had a bit of energy left after this class, so I went upstairs to the track and ran a mile to make a sorta brick workout. I ran it a bit quicker than usual too. And I still had time to shower and get to the pool to pick up our daughter from swim practice on time.
