kicking takes forever!
OMG I had the most interminable swim yesterday. It was only 3000 meters total, but 900 of those meters were on the kick board. And kicking takes forever! I thought I might not make it towards the end there, but I am pretty sure I swam the entire workout. So I feel pretty good about that. I am feeling so awesome about my swimming, I can't wait until my next race to see how much I have improved.
I guess we are now making the national news because of our heat wave, which is weird to me because I thought last year was much worse. However, by the time I get on my bicycle later on today for my 1:40 ride, it should be pretty warm. On the bike it really isn't that bad as long as you make sure to drink enough water and sports drink. Hopefully it should be a fun ride! I am curious if I'll have to go a lot slower to keep my heart rate in the right place what with the heat, I know I would if I were running. Luckily, since we are at altitude, the mornings are still pretty nice. I had a great easy run with Laura this morning. Realistically I feel like my program is very manageable as long as I'm smart with my time and get up early every day to do one of my workouts.
That is about all, I'm going to drink a bunch of water so I don't get too parched in a few hours!
