...was last night, and I felt really great in the water. At least for the swimming part. The ball-handling part, not so much. The team is playing together really nicely, and there are some darn fast swimmers who are coming to the workouts now (who I can just about keep up with), but again - while I can get down the pool quickly, once I get the ball I have no idea what to do with it. I think I turned it over like five times last night. Oops.
It was a nice 1.5-hour workout, and it was really nice that I wasn't thinking about the fact that it was a workout. I had fun playing a game instead of focusing on this tri thing.
Of course, today I am working from home (trying to finish a paper to submit! Yay!), and am going to SF this weekend (so will be missing the big TNT workout Saturday morning), so I took the opportunity to get in a bike/run workout. I repeated the ~22-mile Portola loop bike route from a few weeks ago, and added what turned out to be a 43-minute, 3.4-mile trail run. That's 12-minute-36-second miles for those of you paying attention! On trails! After a big bike ride! I have to say I'm happy with that performance, and with about 8 weeks to go I feel like I'll be ready for whatever this tri throws at me.
Except maybe heat and humidity, but I can't really train for that. Unless I put the treadmill/bike trainer in the bathroom and workout with the shower on so it's all steamy.
Or I'll just deal when I get to Hawaii.
P.S. Hawaii tickets are purchased! Anyone interested? We arrive Thursday March 25 and leave Tuesday March 30...
