Triathlon Training: Week 3

June 23rd, 2008

How do you spell slacker? S-A-R-A-H. I had two awesome workouts Monday and Tuesday, but I was sore and exhausted from said workouts on Wednesday, and my post-work cycling class was put on the back burner Thursday because I spend the last half hour at work holed up in the shower in the women’s restroom due to insane weather. And I was plain lazy Friday and Saturday. Here’s what I did this week:

• Workout type. Running
• Route. Forest Park 3-mile loop
• Feeling.
• Time. 30 minutes
• Distance. 3 miles
• Pace per mile. 10:00
• Additional notes. About five minutes into my run, an electrical storm started. And then it started raining at the one-mile mark. It rained for about a mile. It’s crazy, but I think the rain makes me faster because it cools me off. I also hate walking in the rain, so I’m compelled to keep running. Just wish I had my visor to keep some of the water off my face.
