Saturday's Workout

Team Bike and Run

Bike Workout
I once again rode with the age-groupers. Despite my efforts to keep up the pace, I fell behind and nearly got lost on the first section of the route. I finally made it to the mid-way point where everyone was waiting and practicing changing tires. Once we got started again, I did pretty well on the hills with the rest of the group. But at some point, our group missed a turn and we ended up going about a mile out of our way. We turned around and made our way back to the main road that we came in on. Once we hit that road, the pack proceeded to take off, leaving me and a few others in the dust... again. I was very discouraged and wondered what would happen if I were to get hurt or not feel like I could finish the ride. I had no cell phone and did not know who was behind me that would be able to help out. Finally, a few familiar faces came upon me and graciously stayed by me the rest of the way back to the school. Besides being left behind... twice... it was a really good workout.

Total Distance = 16 miles

Swim Workout
There were 5 or 6 people in each of the pro lanes this week, which made the water especially choppy and also didn't always allow for best effort.

10 x 50 (15" rests)
500 marker set
3 x 100 (15" rests)
1 x150

We ended the workout by getting into some relay teams and doing some fun little relay races. I realized how much I actually miss racing in the water. Who knew?

500 Marker = 8:46, PE=6
Total Distance = 1500 yards
