Good week ending with a very fun olympic distance triathlon. I was able to get in two bricks (three counting the triathlon). While I missed Monday and took Friday as a rest day, I still feel good about putting in a solid week of workouts. Fall weather has definitely arrived to Boston. My morning rides to Walden Pond have become quite cool. I actually look forward to getting in the water to warm up. I still have to say that this is the greatest workout ever. I'm looking forward to even more as the fall foliage comes with all its vibrant colors. The triathlon was a blast today (see separate blog entry on the event). Overall, feeling good about my fitness level at this stage. I could certainly be a faster swimmer and stronger cyclist, but I'm feeling a lot better conditioned than I have ever been. Next up: Pumpkinman 1/2 Ironman in Vegas on October 17th. This will be a great test. Between now and then, I need to increase my swim workouts from 1 mile to 2 miles and put in some longer bike rides (50+ miles) along with continuing to do 2-3 bricks. Good fun!
