(Previous) Week in Review

With 2 weeks away from our first triathlon, Cowboy Jeff and I are starting to get our game faces on. My routine looked like this last week...

Monday: Off

Tuesday Morning: 30 min full body circuit workout in gym

Tuesday Afternoon: 300 meters x 3, 100 meters x 5, 25 meters x 5 all for time at pool

Wednesday: 2 mile sprints on spinner x 3

Thursday Morning: 30 min full body circuit in weight room

Thursday Evening: 300 meters x 4 plus 20-30 minutes of 25 meter technique laps at pool

Friday: Off

Sat: Off

Sun: 7.5 mile run with Ken. 8:25 average pace per mile.

This week, I have some very specific objective

• one long bike ride (25 miles plus) and one 16 mile bike ride (same as actual triathlon distance)
• one swim workout at roughly 1000 meters
• two short runs (less than 5 miles each)
• two days of weight room (compound and isolations)

I'm starting to get a little nervous about the race. Not really the race itself, but all of the little details that go into the race. First, the race starts at 6:45a and we need to arrive at least an hour prior to the race to get our transitions ready. Unlike other races that I have done, that were just running events, I have a trunk full of stuff I'll have to bring with me...

• swim goggles
• swim cap
• swim shorts
• watch
• cycling cleats
• helmet
• sunglasses
• GU (energy gel)
• 2 water bottles
• bike
• bike pump
• towel
• running shoes
• Garmin watch
• sweat band or hat
• racing belt/bib holder

All that and I probably forgot something. ; )
