Weekend

Saturday 3/28- 2 hours basketball

Sunday 3/29- 20 miles bike ride in 70 minutes (17.3 mph average). I made it all the way to Reston and topped out at 30.8 mph. I love having a speedometer! Followed by 3.3 mile run in about 28 minutes (whenever I run following a bike ride my left leg is numb for a little while, but then it gets better, so I assume there are no problems).

Monday 3/30- 5 mile run, 45 minutes.

PS- My dad warned me that the incidence of heart attacks during triathlons is twice as high during the swim as at other times. This is because people are not used to the cold open water and the extra contriction of their heart causes an attack. This leads to 2 lessons: 1) don't get stressed out and/or work to hard at the begining of the swim; and 2) do some open water. I am going to get in touch with the guy who has a lake house and see if we can swim there again sometime, maybe as a group. Meg, want to come down for a weekend of outdoor swimming?
