I started my 1st of my 12 week training for my triathlon yesterday. I plan on doing 3 12 week training sessions, before I do my race.
Yesterday started off rough. I got to the GYM at my normal time yesterday and found out I could not leave the kids because they were at their max in kids corner. So I was all pumped up and ready to go and bust my butt, and then I had to wait. The bright side was that Jory went with me that evening. I did 5 miles and then ran 1. I lifted some weights and then my tummy started to cramp and hurt so I decided to call it a night. I feel like I still got in a good workout.
Day 2 was GREAT! My legs were sore this morning, but I got up and went anyways! Got there right in time to get the kids in before they filled up! In fact my kids put them at their quota. I went ahead and made my reservations for the next two weeks for them at 9:30-11:30 M-F. Now they are guaranteed a spot everyday!
I did about 7 miles on the Bike, about 1 mile on the TM, and 15 minutes on the Elip. I lifted weights concentrating on my legs. I did back as well, as arms. All in all a great workout. 1 hour and 11 minutes. My heart rate was around 160 for almost 1 hour. Good FAT BURNING rate!
Tomorrow I will do 30 minutes on the Elip, and then I will swim for about 30 minutes. I need to give the legs a rest.
I am trying to build up the endurance to go into a serious next 12 weeks of training. Then I can really start building a brick program. No one ever said that this was going to be easy. I REALLY want to do this, so pain is the name of this game. I will push myself further than I will have ever pushed myself. I keep telling myself that that it will not hurt so much if I keep doing it.
