After the first day of training I sense that there is a long road ahead. Steve Friedman took me on an all-uphill bike ride. Normally, I ride at 18-20 m/hr, and this time we averaged 8 m/hr. We managed an incredible 11 miles in 1.5 hrs! It was not what I had been looking for, but what can I expect after months of not riding?
Today was another day, and another workout. I swam for 20 min. which felt pretty ok. My arms and wings (fins, as Rowe likes to call them) got very tired, but the breathing felt good. Maybe there is hope after all ;) Soon I have to start looking for races, but not just yet. I have a lot of work to do and I hope to share this with you along the way (if not in person, then via this blog).
