Personal:

I go to TCU and am a member of the TriFrogs team here. I just started training for triathlons in August 2010. I ran track throughout high school, but always hated long distance until this summer. Something inside me snapped and I found out that I love it! Unfortunately, I got a stress fracture due to overtraining for a half marathon I was aiming to do in December, but I should be back on my feet soon! In the meantime, I've significantly improved in the biking and swimming! Stay tuned to watch me grow!

Went on a bike ride with one of my friends who has a hybrid. We went pretty slow because she was having a hard time keeping up. If I'd had more time I would have put in a few more hard fast miles at the end but I was in a crunch.

Cycling class this morning bright and early! Did abs right after for about 10 minutes.

 Running later this evening- first 2 miles!!!! It felt really good! I'm getting some minor shin splints while I run, but they stop immediately when I stop running so I don't think they are anything to worry about. Just out of practice with my running muscles?

So I did a triple workout today, probably not a great idea because none of them were at max. effort. But now that I'm running again, my runs can only happen every other day and I don't want to skip those, plus MWF is usually my swim/cycle day. 

 So, I swam in the morning, ran in the afternoon, and went to spin class in the evening. True triathlete style. During my swim, I did have a friend helping me with form so while it wasn't a sprint or distant workout, it was still very productive.

Swim Set:

1x 450 warm up

3x150 swim, kick, pull

1x450 cool down *working on new techniques  at an easy pace

 

Running:

1.5 miles at a 9:14 ppm in 13:51. I ran with my roommate who like to keep around a 10 minute pace. It was good because I helped push her a little harder for the 5k she's training for and she slowed me down since I'm so prone to just let loose and go!

 I had cycling class tonight too. We spun for about 45 minutes and then did plyo's. By the end of it I was completely dead. My legs aren't uses to so many different muscles being used in one day! But hey, that's why collegiate nationals isn't until April, right?

Long swim workout today. 

 3x150 free, kick, pull

1x1800 swim (finished in 34:00)

3x150 pull, kick, free

 

I wasn't too tired after this, so I really tried to push it for the last 100 yds. I was out of breath after that but only for a minute or so. Getting better at swimming!!
