Brick workout.  Biked the 56-mile HIM course, then ran 4 miles.  With 5 weeks of training to go, I'm finally at the point where I'm sure I can finish this thing with a smile on my face.

The headwind  was a killer particularly on the 10-mile climb;  but I was able to make up some time on the second half for an overall average of 15.3 mph.    The run was hot.  The run was a surprising 10:30 pace.  Not a bad showing for week 3 of the build cycle. 

Next week is a recovery week with only 8 hours of training.  What am I going to do with all that extra time?

I went to Prime Outlets today in Williamsburg. Without realizing it, I had been walking around the outlet for over 3 hours! 3 HOURS!!! No breaks or stopping to sit; ok a bathroom break. I didnt feel tired, nor did my feet hurt!!!!

I'm shocked!! Last year this would have been IMPOSSIBLE!!! WOW!!!

You know I'm counting this as exercise!!!

Once again a nice 4 mile run along the American River in Sacramento, Ca. It was amazing the bazillion amount of people with similar ideas. One more day up here and then home to So. Cal.

8 mile, 3 hour hike. 3 miles of it was uphill and a climb of 1,000 ft. My poor legs are jello!

5.2 mile jog...I'm feeling better than last week..not sure why it's taking me so long to get back into my groove...but hey, at least I'm getting back to where I should be!!   Soooo glad I chose the run instead of the nap this evening!!

I had the same question...so I Googled it.  This Youtube may help.
How to Train for a Triathlon : Brick Workout ...
I had to get up at 6AM...To be at work by 7.  I'm a security guard at a large medical facility...13 acres of patroling.  I walked about 4-5 miles today...In the heat of the day + about 20 flights of stairs!!  After work I rode my bike 3 miles...Not much, but it was good to get out.

Another rough 4 miles after another rough day at work...  Didn't really do intervals today, but I did change up the speed a few times and then sped up some at the end.  I really don't like working out late in the day.
