Medium run & Long swim
Swim: 750m (30 laps)
I had full intentions to have a wetsuit by now and start open water training for my long swims. This was not the case as I have not been able to purchase or rent a wetsuit yet. With the Triathlon less than 3 weeks away, I want to get into open water as soon as possible.
The workout consisted of alternating between 50m breaststroke and 50m front crawl for 7.5 times continuously. I am in love with my new Garmin Swim watch, and would recommend this to anyone who needs something just for pool swimming.
Time: 17:14
Pace: 2:18 min/100m
Strokes: 14 strokes/25m ; 25 strokes/min
SWOLF: 48
Run: 2.09Km
I laced my new Merrell Bare Access 4's with elastic EZ Laces (http://www.ezlaces.com/) and I absolutely loved the run with them. It allows the shoe to loosen and tighten as required by my running gait and does not cause pain due to restriction like laces.
I decided to complete a fartlek workout within this distance. After a 5 min warm up (about 600m), I alternated 1 min running (~3:30 min/km) and 1 min jogging (~6:30 min/km) 5 times, and then walked a 5 min cool down.
Time: 17:53
Pace: 6:35 min/km
Distance: 2.71 km
Fastest Pace: 3:14 min/km
Due up tomorrow:
Short bike 5.95km. I want to focus on speed and proper pedaling. Also booked for a massage!
