Bike

40m 43s
12.00 miles
17.68 Mi/hr

Just out to get in what I could today. Wanted to go longer, but a bit of road construction cut my ride short. Worked on 90+ cadence and keeping my HR down. Nice easy ride for a staurday morning. Now I will go blow it on a little tailgating and a football game. Damn cajun friends are killing me!!! Good thing this is the "off season".

Thursday - October 28

Swim

-----
1000.00 yards

Again not really worrying about distances. Just wanted to work on my stroke count. Kept it around 18-19, but would quickly go up to 21 if I tried to speed up. I will continue to drill like this for a few weeks then test to see what type of speed I can maintain per 50/100, etc.

20x50 on 30

Bike

Finally got on the new trainer. Worked on cadence (90+) while keeping HR low.

Run

20m
1.93 miles
10m 22s /Mi

Tried to maintain a 90+ cadence and stay below 75% MHR (138). Had trouble doing both. Had to continue to drop the speed on the treadmill to maintain HR. Felt like I was speed walking instead of running. Guess I have to go back to that comment from earlier in the week..."Check the ego at the door". I hate going that slow, but I have to say that I could have gone for days at that pace!

Failed at that goal..but I kept it around 77%. I will take that as a 1st timers learning curve!

Cadence workouts. Also just got my two new books...beIRONfit and Going Long....Does the insanity ever stop??? I now have my own triathlon training library. I think I now own every book out there on triathlon training.
