52 minutes on trainer; moderate effort 1st fifteen minutes; shifted up two gears every commercial break (entertainment: Alton Brown's Good Eats) and back down after commercials.
31 minutes in pool; 25 laps.
Coach Mike says i'm not to exercise more than an hour and a half at a time. i'm trying to back-to-back my workouts as much as possible. this is for two reasons: 1, i like to get things over in one fell swoop so i can have the rest of my day; 2, more than one shower a day dries the crap out of my skin and i end up all itchy afterwards, no matter how much i moisturize.
Some triathletes I know practice their transitions. At the risk of offending anyone on this list, I just...can't...imagine...it. Maybe I'll change my mind. I mean, there are whole workouts dedicated to the art of the transition. Wow.
Today's workout is a run. I have a race on Sunday. It's supposed to be 3 degrees here on Saturday, and that's without the windchill. Yikes! That doesn't bode too well for Sunday, although I forget what the forecast is...
