A Triathlon Of Sorts

Started the day with my first outdoor bike ride for a very long time! The 21 miles went rather well considering, but I’m definitely no powerhouse on the bike – especially into the wind. Good practice for next week’s Breezy Point Triathlon though and nice to log another hour of saddle time.

Next up was a 1000m swim at the local rec center. I knew the pool would be closed on Memorial Day, so decided to make the most of the day and log a few laps. I managed 8×100m and finished with a swift 200m – swift is probably not the best descriptor, but I was trying hard to pick up the pace.

Back at the house it was time for Hundred Push Ups W6D1 which called for sets of 40, 50, 25, 25 and a minimum of 50. My arms were a little tired from the swim, and I could only manage 33 in the final set. Still, 173 push-ups wasn’t a bad effort.

I ended the day with an easy four miler in about 31 minutes – nothing fast, just an enjoyable run to stretch out the legs.
