Neighborhood Swim/Bike: 700ft of climbing, 7miles, 1mile swim
I've been waiting to do this workout since I started training.
The club pool is just up the hill from us, a 3 minute drive.
There are also literally miles of trails and backroads within a half mile of my front door, but between my front door and the trails is a steep mile of climbing. The workout I've been waiting to do is to bike to the club, swim a mile at the club, and then bike back.
So today, I did it! I'm stoked.
The climbing wasn't too bad and certainly better than the first time I tried cycling up the hill a month ago.
We've been having rain in the bay area, so the pool
was empty for most of the mile swim. Swimming alone allowed me to focus on my pulling and form.
I've been taking my workout sheet with me. The last two full workouts have been 2600 yards, about a mile and a half. By focussing on the individual drills I'm able to get through the workout without killing myself.
