Sunday – Rode to Nyack and back this morning. The weather was pretty warm and I am sun burned now. Got a flat tire on the way back but luckily I was not far from the bike shop when that happened. Took me a while to change the tire and had to try out 3 different tubes, first tube was uneven and I learned I should not keep my tube under the sun inside the pouch behind my bike saddle, second one pop when I pumped it to 110 psi and luckily the third one worked. In total, rode around 53 miles at 17 miles an hour.

Friday – Swam for an hour at River Bank pool. Keri told me that my stroke didn’t sync too well and seems like I stopped at each stroke. I always thought I need to glide more to increase my distance/stroke, but instead by doing this is slowing down my momentum. So I’ll have to relearn my swim stroke.

Thursday – Did track workout at East River track, first track workout of the year. We did 2X800m, 2X1600, 1X3200, 3X400

Wednesday – Interval bike ride 3X5 mins. Tried out the heart rate monitor, got my heart rate up to 150-155 for each interval.
