Need to find more time for the bike. Always think about setting up the trainer and a movie on the laptop but never actually do it. It should at least match the swim and run times.

With Fire Fighter Recruit training coming up, I'll be spending a ton of time running and swimming (I hope so), so it works out that I've been concentrating on those 2. Was thinking about packing on a weighted vest for my runs to help simulate FF gear. Maybe I'll borrow Eric's for a run or two.

2010 Triathlon Training: Week 2

2010's first full triathlon training week has ended.

I got in 4.5 hours last week, and the week prior was all rest. The gym has been getting a lot of my attention in the past 3 months. While strength training has given me added power for those nasty hills and pulling the last few hundred feet to shore, I don't feel AWESOME like I do after a swim, bike, and/or run. After strength training, I feel miserable and sore.

So I've scratched my itch and now I can't stop scratching. I love multisport.

Week 2 miles/hours:
Swim 4.23 miles, 2:16 hours
Bike 43.50 miles, 2:30 hours
Run 21.16 miles, 3:29 hours
Gym/Yoga 3:45 (including rest)
12 hours total

I won't attempt to qualify for Ironman this year, but I'll do as much sprint and Oly triathlons as I can squeeze in between Fire Fighter Recruit training class
