Did a short intensity workout this evening, biked for 8 miles, ran 2 miles and swam in a 3 hours period.
My legs were still kind of sore from yesterday’s bike ride, but decided to go for a quick bike ride around Central park. Did a loop in 20 mins and my legs were already burning.  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/161689214
Rode home and then went for a 2 mile run at the west side at 6:30 min/mile pace http://connect.garmin.com/activity/161689218  Got home at 7:30pm, cooked spaghetti, ate it then went for my 9pm swimming lesson. I think the workout is a little similar to a sprint tri, except for the bowl of spaghetti.

We did drills during the swimming lesson today, started out a 200m swim, 200 pull, 200 kicks. Did a fast 200 m swim and my time was around 4:30 mins I think, my first ever time trial in swimming. Wasn’t fast but at least I got an idea of the level I am at. Then John, the instructor wanted us to do alternate breathing swim drills, by doing 3,5,7,5 strokes before getting a breathe. I had trouble doing that, because I have been so use to doing 2 strokes swim before breathing.

Yesterday, (Saturday) rode around 65 miles to Nyack with NYCC http://connect.garmin.com/activity/161689207

Went for a swim on Friday after work.

Did the Indian drill run with Niketown on Thursday, did 4 repeats of half a mile at 7min pace. Then did 30 mins of biking on my trainer with 3x10mins sets.

Rested on Wed.

Did hill workout on Tues with the whippets, 10X400m up cat hill.

On Monday, went for a swim after work.
