So as Monday's go today started out in the usual fasion, I slept in! Haha! It did turn out to be a good one though.
I decided that since I did not make a deposit into the Ironman bank yeaterday I would put some in today. I thought that a nice swim would be good, so off I went to the Y, I was 700m in when the guy in my lane asked my if I was training for anything. I told him and we ended up having a 20 minute conversation about Ironman(he did Canada th is past year). He gave me a few pointers and a couple of ideas for bike rides. I then got back to my swim. I managed to do a 2000m or 2 km, what ever works for you, it took me 58 minutes but I was taking my time and by the end I still felt like I could keep on going. That was a really good feeling as my lack of water time has been a concern.
After I was done I needed to get a bike lock so that I can ride my bike to the Y in the future. I went to Walmart found a lock and also found a bike cover, which will be nice for traveling. I then came home had some food and then took the dogs outside to work on the pretty new bike I bought on Friday! I attached the pouch under the seat and a cage to carry water.
I thought that since it was a georgous day I would go for a ride, nice and slow. I went out for just over an hour and did about 25km. It was such a nice day that I only needed a tank top, hard to believe a few days ago we were having a blizzard. :) I rode out along the ridge, what a pretty view, and came back throught Fish Creek Park, all the way down past the new golf course and finished it off with the Mckenzie Golf Course hill(that lovely 1km hill!!!!). I managed to make it up the whole thing still on my bike.....that is a first! I'm so very proud of myself! Way to go ME!!!!!!
As soon as I got home I parked my bike, took off the helmet and went for a run, I only did 1km but need to run off the bike every time.... practice, practice, practice...
So all in all not a bad day, 2km swim, 25km bike ride, and a 1km run..... I am a bit sore right now, but I'm confident the tomorrow I'll be okay.
