Day of a Professional Triathlete

I spent Friday doing so many tri related things, it was almost like I was a pro. Except for all the homework I also did.
I woke Fri morning, and did 1.5 hours on the trainer doing the Mental Toughness Spinervals. I then made my way to pilates for an hour, and then came home for lunch. I did some homework, and then went to a bike store to investigate the purchase of a mountain bike. I then went to swim practice for an hour to cap off the day.

Granted, a Pro would have done alot more, and alot faster. I was pleased that I was not feeling tired or sluggish by the time it came to swim practice.

After the unseasonable warm spell we had earlier this week, the temperature has now dropped back to 'fricken cold'. I wanted to run in the morning today, so I went to the gym to snag a treadmill for my run. I ran for 1h20 all on the treadmill. I felt pretty good, and didnt have soreness that sometimes comes with indoor running for me.

So, I decided on the bike I want. I needed to go down to the store to see if the standover height would be ok for me, with my short little legs. The did not have the model I want in my size in stock, but I stood over another Kona model. There was not a ton of clearance, but enough. Plus I dont think I will find any shorter.

They are ordering my bike in for me, and it should be here in about a week. I am not super excited yet, but I bet I will be when I actually get it. I decided to go with the Kona Kula Lisa. Hopefully it gets nice again and I can ride it.

We are having a 'shindig' at our house tonight as a going away party for one of our friends. I shifted my weekend workouts, so I do not have to bike or do anything tomorrow. It should be nice to have a day off; hopefully I am not too hungover to enjoy it.
