3 Mile Bike/500 Yard Swim
Rode 3 Miles on hybrid, then got a call. Went swimming with Zoey in the evening, then swam an easy 500 yards.
My log of becoming a "triathlete" at age 48, and continuing through age 55.

rode two miles on hybrid in the wind. Excruciatingly slow.
Rode the bike at the gymn for 15 minutes, then lifted some weights, still easy, rode another ten, than swam for 15 minutes. Leg is better today. I need to do some study to figure out what it could be.
Ran 3 miles or so in the neighborhood. Easy. Leg is feeling better. Maybe next outing I will try for some speed.
Ran three miles areound the circle at work before work this morning. Chilly out, but I was dressed warmly. I ran slow and again at two miles I could feel the weakness under my left knee. Still it felt great to run.
Ran the 5K in 29:52 -- a 9:37 mile pace. I had only a vague feeling of tiredness in my right leg, but I had no gas. It was rainy. I ran in my grey hoodie. The last part of the course was uphill and I had no kick at the end.
Ran three miles at the track tonight with only a mild ache that came on after the second mile. Here are my splits:
Rode 15 today. I will have to start wearing bike shorts under my work pants if i want to do more miles.
Swam 1000 yards, including a 525 yard sprint. There is a triathlon in January that is indoors. You swim for 10 minutes, ride the bike for 30, then run the treadmill for 20. You accumulate scores based on distance. I wanted to see how many laps I could do in 10 minutes. the answer was 21. It would have placed me 15 out of 21.
Did my neighborhood run and came in under 24 minutes, running easy. After a mile and a half, I started feeling it again, but if I didn't press too hard, it stayed in the backgound. I think if I tried to run fast it would hurt. Toward the end of the run, my leg started hurting when I ran uphill. After I was done, I got one sharp tweak near the knecao and then it went away.
