On Monday, did a Brick workout. After setting up my bike trainer, I did a 20 mins lactate threshold ride on the bike and ran 4 miles at 6:44 min/pace at the west side before heading to my group meeting at 7:30pm. The first 2 mile, I got a strong headwind behind me so the negative split is because of the headwind. I kind of like this workout, it’s pretty intense but it’s short.

Tuesday, ran with Niketown and did 2 loops around the reservoir which is around 3.2 miles at a 6:30 ish pace http://connect.garmin.com/activity/155942324 and then went for a swim with Steve at the pool on 54th st. The pool is only 18 yards but that wasn’t my night, didn’t feel very good in the water and drank couple mouthful of pool water. Then I had to rush to UES to meet a friend, the E train wasn’t running so got home pretty late, a long day.

On Wed, did another Brick workout. Biked for 20 mins at a lactate threshold pace, then went out for a 3 mile run at 6:44 min/pace http://connect.garmin.com/activity/155942320 which is exactly the same pace as on Monday before rushing to my Spanish lesson.

Had to file my tax return on Thursday so took that as my rest day.

On Friday, went for a morning swim in the pool for 45 minutes.

On Saturday, went for a group ride with the SIG-A group under NYCC. It’s a nice ride, a little windy and cold in the morning but weather got warmer later in the day. We rode up to Blauvelt which is a little south of South Nyack. Rode 50 miles in the group and then did my own thing in Central Park, http://connect.garmin.com/activity/157188994 in total, I did around 60 miles.

On Sunday, signed up for a long run with the whippet. Went out the night before plus we lost an hour because of day light saving, so was pretty sleepy.
Decided to biked from midtown to Prospect Park because it’ll take the same amount of time on the train anyway, if not longer. Ran 15 miles around Brooklyn, it’s a pretty nice course, we went from Prospect Park, passed by the Gowanus Canal, ran passed IKEA, DUMBO

Williamsburg, Fort Greene and back to the park, did a whole scenic loop around Brooklyn.

Biked back home after the run and attended my 2nd swimming lesson at night. We still did drills like last time. Actually I felt pretty good in training this time, maybe it’s because I swam in the slow lane so I found myself swam faster..lol

So this week has been a productive one for training, managed to work out everyday except Thursday. Kind of get a taste of how’s life going to be for the next few months. For the weekend, I biked around 80 miles, ran 15 miles and swam for an hour. Those activities really took up a lot of my time, will need to re prioritize my life.
