4/9 - Rode my mountain bike to school and around the city. This was mostly just to stretch out and not be lazy. After my marathon, I only ran 21 miles in January and about 15 in February. Oops.
4/10 - Ran with Bigfoot. Because of the special schedule we have for midterms week, I had to eat early lunch and didn't have time for dinner. My run was terrible. I ran 6x600, but when it came to the 6x1000 I couldn't hang. I only did four before I gave up. I rested for 30 minutes or so, then played soccer with Elias, mi amigo from Paraguay for about an hour.
4/11 - Swam 1500m faster than race pace. I planned to get my heart rate up and finish with negative splits. The workout was 27 minutes long. If I could hold that pace for the triathlon, I'd be shaving a full seven minutes off the first of the three disciplines. I plan to swim a 30 minute 1500m at my next tri on 4/29 in Taidong.
4/12 - It was a really hot day and I had all the time in the world. After having some problems pumping up my tires at the motorcycle shop next door I set out to ride my bike to Changhua for work. My record was 52 minutes for the 32km journey. The trip there was terribly hot and I drank almost my entire bottle of Supao. I felt like I was riding slow so I kept pushing, knowing I would be a sweaty mess in the cram school with no air conditioning. When I arrived, I looked at my watch and was pleasantly surprised to see 50 minutes. I walked in the school, and immediately left to try and cool/dry off in the shade. Even after changing into my spare clothes I was gross. The ride home was an uneventful 54 minutes.
In other news, LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY!
I'm assuming the transition times are added to the following event? I thought I had a faster bike and run time. My goals for Taidong this month are 30-minute swim, keep the same bike time, and run a 50-minute 10k. I'm shooting for sub-2:40. I have one more week to work out before I begin to taper.
