Weekly workouts 5/11-5/17
Gwen, a brick is when you do 2 of the three parts of a triathlon back to back, usually bike and then run because it is the hardest transition. It is done so you can get used to running on "dead" legs.
Also, yes, 70.3 is a triathlon. It is a half-ironman. You swim 1.2 miles, bike 56 miles, and run 13.1 miles for a total of 70.3. :)

Aaah, that all sounds super intense, but practicing transitions makes a lot of sense. Good luck!
