After talking to my triathlon advisor, Kari, I decided to take it easier this week than I originally planed. The Hal Higdon Speed Tri Training program had me doing 30 min swim with 30 min bike, or 30 min bike with 30 min runs this week. Kari suggested that I take it easier to let my body recover from my training. The best thing she said was that I should be rested enough so that I'm itching to get on with the triathlon (a paraphrase, but you get the idea).
So, I went for a little over a 30 min bike today. It felt great! It was 6.36 miles through the quiet neighborhoods around St. Olaf University. I didn't push it too hard, and it felt good. I even told Greg right after that it felt good, which he commented was not a normal bike reaction of mine.
I'm ready to go! I can't wait to hit the course again. I'm anxious to see how much I've improved over last year. It's exciting this time, not terrifying like last year. This time 1 year ago, I had Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 going through my head. This year, I have upbeat and happy songs. What a difference a year makes!
