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!

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?
