012309 - Triathlon Simulation

This morning I was so freakin lazy I could not get my ass out of bed.  I slept in and skipped my planned workout and quickly decided I was going to just get it all in after work.  I got to the gym around 5:45 and hopped into the pool for a 45 minute swim.  I decided to swim continuously and covered 2400 yards in 45 minutes.  I then jumped out, put dry clothes on and went to the gym for a bike and run.  I biked for 30 minutes and kept my cadence to 91-95 RPMs.  My HR stayed in the mid to upper 140s on the bike and when I jumped on the treadmill for a 10K pace run, I started it off at an 8 minute mile pace.  I was supposed to run for 45 minutes, but only got 35 in because the gym was closing and they kicked me out at 8:00 PM.  I kept my HR around 160-165 on the run.

I felt really good accomplishing this today and I am surprised I can keep an 8 minute mile pace after that long swim and steady bike.  I have to admit that in the last 15 -25 minutes of the run I was freakin bored and tired.  Now that it is several hours later, I am worn out and ready for a good nights sleep.  I hope I have enough in the tank for tomorrow mornings bike ride.  I think I am going to head out for some hills in rock creek park!
