For the first time I tried running after riding, and I was pleasantly surprised. I rode my ususlal 12 mile local ride in the mountains by my house, a little over an hour, then as quick as I could, changed into running clothes and ran for another hour, probably 6 or 7 miles (I left all my electrons at work). I didn't feel the effects of the ride during my run. I need to double those distances and see what that feels like.
I swam 5 times last week for an hour, about a mile each day. I have so much room for improvement here. I still feel pretty incomfortable in the water. I am out of breath after 100yards. I have been watching videos on technique and realize that I don't know how to swim! I'll be spending alot of time in the pool!

Back in the Pool!
I finally forced myself to get back in the pool yesterday. I swam for an hour and by the end I was starting to find a rythm. Swimming is tough and I am still figuring it out. Time to do some studying, I am definitely doing something wrong.

Try Harder!
Not much to talk about lately, I am remaining fairly discipline with my workouts post marathon. I am at least working out an hour a day and taking only one rest day per week.
I took a pretty good spill on my bike last Saturday. I laid in the dirt for a couple of minutes thinking I might be hurt, but I got lucky again; only a few bumps and scrapes. My back still hurts, but I’ll be fine in another week or so.
Things I need to do:
I need to get in the pool a lot!
Put a training plan together for the Triathlon this fall.
Try Harder!
NGU!
