Feeling Good

I joined Critical Speed for Tri Training this year. It's a smaller group which is nice because you get more individual attention. The club does things outside of swim,bike and run such as snowshoeing. Last month we went to Chster Lake.
Come spring, I'll be better prepared for the bike and T2. Thursdays are 2 hour rides whereas last year's longest ride was 90 mins. These sessions include vertical jumps, squats, lunges, push ups and core. They're great leg busters which make the last hour of biking twice as hard.
Track sessions are similar. On Tuesday we Ran 200m FAST, 90 sec jog, 800m at 10km race pace, 2 minute rest. Repeat that 2x, then burpees, push ups, pull ups, side leg lifts, supermans, push ups, crunches, v-sits 8x each. Repeat the entire set 3 times!

I felt like crap Because i ate poorly that day. The first few sets felt horible but had decent times of 3:05, 3:10, then I fell off the pace 3:15, 3:20, 3:25, and last set whipped out a 2:58. Average pace of 4:03min/km.

Kona Ironman is on TV this weekend (Saturday)
