Triathlon Training Update #2

Hey everyone!

Last night I did a little post before my two hour workout. I did do my two hour workout. It was amazing. I felt so good after. I went with my friend Holly; she lives across the hall from me. I am so glad she came along. It was nice to have someone to talk to during the long two hours.

It didn't go exactly as planned, but nothing ever does. The whole point of yesterday’s workout was to see where I was at. To see how far I could get in an hour of each thing. I started off on the bike. Holly and I had some technical difficulties. Once we got past that, it was fine. I didn't know how to set the bike up that it timed an hour. I did two half hours, but each time I didn't get to see how far I went. I had a towel over the thing so I wouldn't look at the time and distance. I would be pedaling then there would be no resistance so I would look and it would say good job, with no workout history or summary. I was like crap! The second half hour on the bike I was looking near the end to see my distance. It was 6km. So I averaged the whole hour to be 11 km in total.

I got off the bike went to talk to Holly for a few minutes then got on the treadmill. I walked and jogged on and off. I was surprised that the only reason I had to stop jogging was because my shins hurt. It wasn't because I was out of breath! Holly was on the elliptical beside me so we talked. I was dumb and decided to play with the string, not thinking that it was attached to the stupid stop thing. I pulled it off and it stopped my workout with no workout summary. So once again I had to just guess! I had the thing covered! Gah! I am assuming because I didn't jog a whole lot that I was on the treadmill for an hour and I went about 5 km.
