Yesterday was a 30 mile bike ride followed by about .25 mile run. We increased the biking intensity and shaved off 6.5 minutes of our total biking time. Our legs felt like marshmallow bricks when we ran and definitely humbled us. How WILL we do this exactly running 3 miles on hills? My legs were numb the first half. I was focused on getting feeling back in them which was good in that it distracted me form my usually whining about running. Once I got my feeling back I was so happy to feel my legs that running didn't seem all that bad.
Today was a nice workout. Ran 1.5 miles of intervals. That was a harder and higher quality workout than when I run 3 miles in the flats. We swam 1000 meters also following the interval training schedule. I had become quite good at pacing myself for longer distances and not feeling worked. Today I swam as hard as I could and THAT was work. It was good to be back in the pool. The wetsuit in the lake created a false sense of security. I had to briefly re-learn my form without it.
