Slow 2 Pro

Welcome back!

Its getting pretty close to the race at this point. Yesterday was a good day. I went on a short sprint early in the morning to get more of an idea of what my realistic top speed is. I was able to eek out a sub 8 minute 1.5mile loop. I was pretty happy with that to say the least. After the run I hit the bike for an 80-90% effort ride. I ended up with a 29 minute 12.4 mile. Thats pretty decent considering the course I’ve been using has a couple hills thrown into it. Thus far today I’ve only done some weight lifting. Im heading out on my bike then depending on the night’s social situation I may head to the gym for a second time. 

On another note, I ordered my first wetsuit. A 2XU V:1 Velocity. Its a freakin awesome wetsuit. Look for a review in the near future. Also please leave me some comments and let me know what kind of workout ideas or product reviews you guys would like to see me do podcasts of!

Water exit from the Black Diamond Triathlon. That swim was cold and long.

Today was a great day at the gym and on the road. I started the day with a timed 5k. I was able to eek out a 17:30 5k which ain’t shabby at all. If I can throw a time like that down at a race I wouldn’t have to look back much. After the run I hit up the gym for a nice 3000 yard swim. After a few hours of rest I went back to the gym for a 45 minute 10K run then hit the pool again for a 1000 yard cool-down. Sadly I didn’t have time to work on the bike. Tomorrow Ill be more diligent
