Camille's Triathlon

Monday, August 24, 2009
Today Ben was able to join me! We got up at 7am, which is early for us so we’ll have to get used to it. We ran 20 minutes straight. We went a little over 2 miles. I was definitely tired, but it was do-able. Then we did strength training: chest and triceps. Felt great! I also walked 45 minutes later in the afternoon with Pumla (a neighbor) with 5lb weights on my ankles. Killer.

Bike 45 minutes. Strength: back and abs. Today was tough! Biking for 45 minutes (level 2), feeeel the burn, that’s for sure! And we went 18km!! Our race is 20km so we’re almost there already! I’ve decided that I'm hoping to be able to do the whole triathlon in about 1h 30m. We’ll see though. Worked on my lower back because it has problems, also back, deltoids and abs. My chest, abs, and back are super sore. Tomorrow we swim!
