O.K., I know that I have been neglecting the blog lately -- just been caught up with other various and sundry things (fortunately, training has been one of them). The last several weeks of training have been pretty consistent -- two runs, two spin/bike rides, one or two days of weight training. The last two weekends I have actually ridden outside for the first times this year. I have been pleasantly surprised by my bike fitness -- I have been averaging around 18 MPH on some pretty challenging rides (i.e., lots of hills, some of which are brutal), without going "all out." I think that anyone who does not think riding the spin bike or taking spin classes helps build/maintain cycling fitness is basically an idiot.
O.K., on to more important things -- I just signed up for my first multisport event this season, the Queens Biathlon on May 17th. The race consists of a 3 mile run, an 18 mile bike ride, and a 3 mile run. Since running and biking are my strengths and once again I have utterly and completely neglected my swim training this year, I am really excited to see how I do. If past results are any indication, assuming the next four weeks of training go well, I should be in the running for a podium spot in my age group (I probably jinxed myself just by typing that)...
