Week 1 Training - Boise 1/2IM

January 19 - BIKE
60 min ride on the trainer, form work. I was supposed to do this workout on Saturday, but since the pool was closed yesterday, I subbed it in and will do the pool workout later this week. My average HR was 134 and I burned 888 calories. I learned that I'm going to have to build my callouses on my sit bones back up. I learned that I'm a terrible one legged peddler.

January 20 - RUN
Negative split 1 hour run. I ran out of daylight to do this run last night. I was thinking I could do it on Wednesday morning, but I figured 3 workouts in 1 day wasn't a great idea. I may have to see if the Chilly Chili Run will fulfill this workout.

January 21 - SWIM + BIKE
Swim 1700 yds. I just finished this workout and I was surprised at how well I remember how to swim. I haven't been in the pool for quite awhile, so I wasn't sure how it would go. It went fine. I got the yards done in 38:26. I also enjoyed the drills and remembered how much I love being in the water. The worst part was the 4 foot high shower afterwards...that's what happens when you swim at an elementary school I guess. ***I went back and checked my times from last year. I am slower, but not as slow as I was at the beginning of March, so I'm sure over time, I'll get my speed back.***
Bike - 60 min. form work. I completed this workout last night before Lost came on. It was difficult to want to do a bike workout because I was feeling kind of tired. Plus, when I got on the bike my butt was sore from riding on Monday. I really do have to get my callouses built back up. I did the workout, but I will admit, I hopped off the bike about 6 minutes early because I had to take some fresh baked bread out of the oven and I really didn't want to to get back on. So, while it was not my finest workout, I did get it done. Oh, and I did much better on the one legged pedaling!

January 22 - REST

January 23 - SWIM
2000 yds. I just finished this workout. I was a little disappointed in my time (48:48), but there were alot of drills and I took my time doing those. My next swim is Monday, so I should have plenty of time to recover.

January 24 - BIKE + RUN
1:30-1:45 ride while watching a movie - I had grand intentions of waking up early to do this on Saturday morning. Instead, I woke up in the middle of the night and didn't fall back to sleep until around 5:30am (there are weird informercials on in the middle of the night). By the time I woke up it was 10am, so no ride.
Chilly Chili Run - 4 miles + Green Gable Cheeseburger - Did it! See above race report.

January 25 - REST
Thought about fitting in my long ride, but had stomach issues and decided to just bag it for the week.
