biking and swimming day

wk 4, day 2


Goal: bike 12 miles & swim for 45 minutes

What a fun day! I love biking and swimming. Are they easy, is that why I love them so much? NO! I love mixing up my workouts. I love sitting down while making my legs do all the work. I love being in water, especially in 100 degree weather!
I woke early to get my ride in. I was several minutes slower than previous rides, but I'm not concerned with that. As long as I feel the burn and push, push, push, I know that I gave it my all. Something was odd with my gears. Oscar checked them out for me & I think it's fixed. After dropping Xia off at "school", I went to my friends neighborhood pool and swam. It was so hot that the water felt warm! But nonetheless, I managed to keep my booty in that pool swimming and swimming for 45 minutes. Yay me! I still don't know the measurements of the pool - maybe 35-40 meters? I didn't "time" myself because I'm not sure of the length of the pool. I wouldn't mind timing a 400 and then 800 sprint next time I'm in the water. My arms were shaky when I got out of the pool - great workout.

I accomplished my goal: biked 12 around 59 minutes - 12.2 pace & 45 minute swim
