The Big Test

This afternoon I hit the gym to lift weights -- chest and triceps. It was a fairly uneventful workout, although I must say I was pretty happy with how much weight I was putting up on the flat and incline bench using freeweights -- gotta look good in those ridiculously tight triathlon clothes! Aside from that there is not much to tell. The real reason for this post is that I am excited and nervous for tomorrow morning's workout -- I plan to do an 18 mile bike/3 mile run brick. This will be my longest brick of the year, but more importantly, will simulate the last two-thirds of my first race of the season in just over two weeks. I am particularly interested to see how I run off the bike -- I have done plenty of bricks on the exercise/spin bike and the treadmill at the gym, but I have a feeling doing a "real world" brick will be a completely different story. I also picked up my bike after having the computer repaired and a tune up, so I am really excited about riding it. As ridiculous as this sounds, I can already tell I will have trouble sleeping tonight...
