Sunday February 24, 2013

Never biked that long before... burns on my butt... Wondering how in the world I will bike for 112 miles @ this point...

Monday February 25, 2013

Swim: 00:29:19 - 1250 Meters - 2.21 Mins/100 Meters Water was @ 70 degree, I couldn't stand it for more than 30 minutes... At least it cooled off my burns for the bike ride the day before! lol

Swim: 00:38:29 - 1609 Meters - 02:23 Mins/100 Meters
Water @ 72 degree, sitting down & looking at my feet touching the water... thinking I didn't go through the trouble of coming to the fitness center @ lunch just to quit... But really???... I was wondering why I was swimming... I do not like the cold!

Bike: 01:00:00 - 21.75 M - 21.75 M/H
Cardio Cycling, My favorite! Made me love my bike again... :)

Run: 02:00:00 - 11.40 - 10.32/M
I actually enjoyed this run. A month ago, I would have look @ these 2 hours as torture... :)

OFF
I worked from 07:15 AM to 01:15 AM - Financial year end is not a good fit at all for Ironman Training... No comment...

Strength: 00:30:00
Didn't sleep enough the night before, hubby decided for us to go out on a date & have steak instead of waking up early to run The Woodlands Half-Marathon the next day in the cold...
That was a REALLY good idea! :)

Received my new watch (hubby's gift), it looks pretty cool.

Well, this week I really struggled with work & training... Nutrition wise, I don't think I am eating enough... Need to work on that & my hours of sleep as well...
I feel good so far, just wondering about that bike leg, seems really long... :)

We'll see how I will tackle next week as hubby is leaving for 10 days to go overseas... Hope I won't be overwhelmed like this swim start @ the Ironman TX last year! lol

To be continued...
