Swimming today!

Headed swimming today!  Went running last night and man was I SLOW . . . . better get moving before my 5k next month.

Week's Workouts

Monday: Run
Tuesday: Swim
Wednesday: Run
Thursday: Bike
Friday: Run
Saturday: Run

I'm hitting the running side hard this week since it's my least favorite, my weakest, and I've got a 5K coming up :P  Here goes nothing!

Technology failure . . .

So, went on the bike ride as planned on Thursday.  Turned on my AllSports GPS app on my phone, put it in the bike trailer and took off.  I got back home and went to check my milage and time and realized my phone had never started tracking.  It said I did a workout for 00:01 seconds. . . awesome!

I'm guessing we went about 4 miles.  And man-oh-man has my new bike already spoiled me.  Pulling S-man & J-bug on that old mountain bike about killed me. . . but it was too nice of a day to miss out on our daylight time.  & I figured short grueling rides should still be good cross-training right?  I figured between the two boys, plus the bike trailer, I'm pulling about 80 lbs, on a horrible bike.  But it was still a fun day, although I didn't go running that night.

New week here I come!

Today's Workout

Windsor Pilates . . . check .

Planned: bike ride this afternoon, then running tonight :D

Happy Thursday

Awesome Bike

Today's work-out:

Windsor Pilates, then a bike ride with the hubby pulling S-man & J-bug.  It was a blast, but we were really going at a cruising pace.  The hubs definitely got more of a workout pulling the boys on our cruddy old bike.  My new bike is SWEET!  It is so much fun to ride and feels great.  It took me a little bit to get used to the road bike positioning of everything but I am really loving it!

These pic's are courtesy of my 4-year-old who I didn't know had stolen my phone and taken some pics of me. lol, this was right after we got the bike put together and I took it for a little test drive.

Next Race

Got to keep motivated right?  It's a 5k to help me train and get ready for a Sprint Triathlon.  It sounds like a blast!

5K Cake Walk & Run

October 22 here I come!

New Bike

Thanks to an amazing/supportive husband, after reviewing my race we decided that if I'm really going to get into this that my 10-year-old broken down mountain bike just wasn't going to cut it.  So he just let me order this Triathlon bike today:

I can't wait to go try it out!

Finished first Race!

Well I didn't do so well at posting workouts everyday, but I did complete my first triathlon last Saturday! And it was so much fun! I've definitely got the bug!

It was a Beginner Triathlon: 300 meter Swim; 6 mile Bike; 2.4 mile Run

I finished in 1:09:45 My goal had been in under 1:15:00 so I was very excited!

My splits were:

Swim: 8:28

Bike: 30:47

Run: 26:06

I also need to improve my swim->bike transition, for some reason I lost almost 4min on that switch. But overall I'm very happy with my results!
