Its Been One Week...

Since I really started challenging myself. We're at 3 weeks left, and I definitely feel like I'm at the peak of my workouts. From here on, we're supposed to taper it off and let our bodies prepare for the endurance test that is the New York City Nautica Triathlon.

On Saturday (6/26), we did a full 2 1/2 hr workout in the blistering sun at Prospect Park. A 1:30 hour bike ride, and an hour run. I biked about 24 miles and ran slightly under 6 miles, and I was pumped!

On Sunday, I took it easy, but...
on Monday (6/28), no joke, I did a 1 mile continuous swim in 44 minutes. We did 3/4s of the mile in our wetsuits, and did the final 1/4 without. It was amazing, and exhilarating and I loved every minute of it. I even emerged from the water thinking that I could actually get on my bike and go!

On Tuesday (6/29), we did a full lap of Central Park. 6 miles in 1 hour and 10 minutes, in a 86* weather. Holy wow, is all I can say. I was in a little pain from shin splits and sore calves, but I made it!! It really was a glorious finish, and I'm glad that running is the final portion, because its going to be so great crying, whining, and smiling all the way to that finish line.

From Saturday's workout... the Brooklyn Yahoos!!! (minus 1)
