We had to hurry up with the pics because it was getting ready to storm. I tossed some SPD pedals on the bike and it is road ready. We went for a quick little ride and all those years of spin classes have Annie ready to tear it up on the road. She's got a pretty good motor!
I went for another OWS yesterday with a few guys from my Tri Cub. It was a little windy but we still had a good time and a good swim. I am still a slow swimmer but am getting much more comfortable in the open water, we estimate we swam about 2100 meters yesterday.
Here are some pics from the OWS last Sunday in the San Jacinto river:
Getting ready to jump in -- I am in the black swim cap.
Here is me coming back. I was trying to wave to Annie.
Here are my training numbers for March and then for the 1st Qtr 2010:
| March's totals: | ||
| Bike: | 15h 37m - 276.85 Mi | |
| Run: | 11h 12m 48s - 75.4 Mi | |
| Swim: | 7h 00m - 15309 M | |
| Strength: | 50m | |
| 2010 totals | ||
| Bike: | 47h 44m - 844.65 Mi | |
| Run: | 31h 54m 07s - 214.79 Mi | |
| Swim: | 18h 15m - 37709 M | |
| Strength: | 1h 30m | |
Overall I am very pleased with the way my training is going. Currently I am doing an intro HIM plan but my longest race is only an Olympic Distance. The reason I am doing the HIM plan was to see how my body would handle the increased volume of a HIM plan. So far, so good!
I am enjoying an official day off work today and it is glorious! We slept in and then went to cafe for breakfast. Annie is going to work at 1pm and then I am going to go for an easy run to get in a little volume before tomorrow's Duathlon.
I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!
Thanks for Reading,

ReplyDeleteNice that she got a bike! Nothing better than having a biking partner, especially on a long ride.
ReplyDeleteNice monthly totals! You are gonna be in great shape for your HIM later in the season.
Nice wheels! I'll bet you're looking forward to getting out on the road together. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteNothing says "oh yeah" like a little bike porn in my book. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteBut, dude, a black swim cap? I never wear black swim caps since the visibility of bright colors always helps from a safety perpective.
San Jac River?? Watch the turds floating down from the north..... no really.
ReplyDeleteNot to gross you out but IMAZ takes place in Tempe Town Lake which is really a river down stream from Mesa. Guess what hits the river in Mesa??? Good guess!!
No wonder I was so slow and crusted over in April 08.
Enjoy your dinner!
Lucky guy! Open water, I am still another 1.5 months unless I want to freeze my parts! Nice wheels~!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue rims! Rocking.
ReplyDeleteNice bike... looks like another triathlete being born!!!
