First Full Weekend of Training

I’m sore.  Brian and I have have been working out together about twice a week for less than a month now.  Both of our schedules are a little hectic, so we have never been able to complete a full week of training.  This week was no exception, but it was the first weekend that we swam and rode.

Yesterday we delayed the ride for an hour to let the fog burn off a little.  Nice ride, total of 15.6 miles.  Heather and I had started riding one morning a week, but only for about 10 or 11 miles.  The extra five miles makes a big difference.  Since I’m not sure if I am going to be a triathlete or just finish this one, I am holding off on buying a road bike for the time being.  For the time being, I am riding my mountain bike.  Let me tell you, this is not the easiest thing to ride when everyone else is on road bikes…

Anyway, this afternoon I headed to the Y and got in 1000m of freestyle.  Last Tuesday, Heather and I swam and I had extreme difficulty getting past 800m, so I am thinking this could be a slight improvement.
