I worked from home yesterday so I was able to get a morning workout in before the day officially started. I did five miles on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the elliptical with a little mix of weights. Today I did a spin class and picked up the Triathlete’s Training Bible at Borders, thanks to a 40% off coupon it was only $15. I plan to make some time to read the sections on planning your workout this weekend. I’m worried after looking at a 20 week plan on Beginner Triathlete that I don’t have enough detail in my plan and it is too “easy”. Yesterday I also signed up for a free seminar from Endurance Nation on training for a half ironman that I hope will help.
I got an email from my cousin that I couldn’t borrow her road bike because she is also doing a triathlon and will be riding her bike to school (she is a P.E. teacher) so I need to figure out how I am going to get some road bike experience before I make my big purchase. I think the best plan is to rent a bike from the store that does the 50 mile rides in town and get comfortable on that. While looking at bikes I realized the bike the guy was showing me at the store was the unisex CAAD 10 and not the women’s version. Right now I’d rather a women’s bike that is designed for my small hands and large derrière. There was a good string of forum posts on Team Estrogen comparing Orbea, Cannondale, and Felt which are the companies that the two bike stores I’ve looked actually carry.
