Another week Down

Well I have completed another week.  It was a great week too.  Finished it off with 2 great workouts.  Saturday was a club workout (the club is called PlayTri, http://www.playtri.com/ ).  It consisted of a 2 hour swim workout, followed by a bike/run brick.  The bike workout was a interval type workout one minute hard then 1 minute easy, 2 minutes hard followed by 1 minute easy.  Next 3 minutes hard and 1 minute easy.  Each hard interval increased by 1 minute.  The run was a fast couple of miles then drills and tempo runs.

Sunday was a 30 minute swim followed by a 2 hour bike.  It was difficult finding a place to swim.  My ususal place was closed for cleaning and repairs.  A second option was closed due to a balloon festival.  A third option was clased due to a breakdown.  So option 4 was a local beach.  I did my half hour swim in the beach area.  Then took off on the bike for a 2 hour bike ride.  The 2 hours went by quickly.  It was over before I knew it.

This coming week has me doing a sprint tri on Sunday.  Playtri's Stonebridge Ranch Triathlon.  As a sprint it will be a 750 meter swim and a 20 k bike and a 5k run.  The key goals for the race will be a good technical swim, a hard bike leg, and a run that has me going comfortable for the first have and then the last half will be one minute hard and one minute easier.  the run will continue with one minute alternating hard and easy.  Looking forward to it!

To lessen the financial strain the club lets me (and others ) work packet pick up in return for a free race entry (sweet deal).
