Colchester triathlon: Weeks 2-5 Training

Belatedly following up on Week 1


Running: Still no better than 5 min/km, I meant to do some running during our travels in PA, but it was too dang hot to be outside, much less running in it.  I suck.



Swimming: Started swimming in the lake and am doing approximately 1/2 mile in 20 minutes at a not-too-tiring rate.


Biking: Got toe clips for the bike and did the 12 mile route that starts and ends at our house in just under 45 minutes (yay!); finally did the official bike route last night and finished in ~45 min as part of a longer hour and a half ride.  The first half is all uphill and took about half an hour; thankfully it's mostly gradual with just a few relatively brutal sections.  It's a good thing the bike leg isn't longer because right now wrist and testicle fatigue kicks in ~50-55 min.  If I'm gonna to regularly do triathlons in the future, gonna need a better bike.
