Monday: 2100 yd swim, 22 mi bike

Written by admin on January 5, 2009 – 12:22 pm -

So far, Day 1 of Week 1 is pretty good.  Walked up to the pool in the freezing cold, i had about 5 layers on, it was 6am!   Still dark, and icy.  Swam well, surprisingly well for me.  I haven’t been in the water much as of late, maybe once a week.  but that’s about to change.

Biked 22 miles on the trainer, with some climbing sets.  Did this on my road bike, without the Powercranks.  I can definitely feel a difference, it’s not as difficult with the normal cranks of a bike.  The PowerCranks are definitely tougher, that’s one thing I took away from this morning’s ride.  I’m hoping still to get a cheap bike that I can throw these on.

It’s nice to know that I haven’t lost every bit of fitness since I last trained.  Feel about normal for where I’m at.  Still planning to run and lift tonight, but that’s up in the air.
