Battle against time January 25, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , trackbackYesterday, I said that I'll have a bike ride IF I had the time. I didn't, but still went anyway. 40km and then a swim right after that.
The ride: I went for my usual course which is now starting to become boring after that group ride but still did it anyway so I could someday, stay in the group. I noticed I have a lot of traffic lights that stop me and also a lot of traffic compared to the course I rode on Sunday. I was frightened by the traffic today, there were so many cars on the other side of the road. Made me worry if I could get to the swimming pool on time. I need to find a new course, that's probably all that I was thinking about during the ride. 1st half: 43'00, average speed 28.3kph, average cadence 77rpm. 2nd half: 44'48, average speed 26.9kph, average cadence 74rpm.
The swim: I was late by one minute!!! But was suprised by the amount of people, I got to have one lane for myself for half of the time. The other half, another guy came in but it still seemed like I had my own lane. Since the other guys have a race this weekend again, they did some speed training, something like 1000m total. Somehow, the coach read my mind, he knew I didn't wanna do this, hehe;-) So instead, this is what I did. 200m warm up, 100*10 pull with pads(2:30), 100*10 swim(2:30), 100m cool down. Nothing hard, I had a 30~40second rest for every interval. I even felt cold after waiting that long. A total of 2300m.
Tomorrow: School finishes early again!!! It better not rain this time, or I'll have to take a NAP!!! hehe. I'm planning to do all three tomorrow. Now, the run will be on my 2km course, slow.
