I’ve had several people comment on my lack of preparation for my upcoming triathlon event.  Truth is the lack has actually been in the posting not the training so here’s a recap from my garmin training buddy:

June 11th

• Bike 16 miles – 1:12:25 (16.0mph, 671cals)
• Swim 34 minutes continuous* (396cals)

June 14th

• Bike 27.73 miles – 2:03:28 (13.5mph, 1175cals)
• Run 2.23 miles – 24:49 (11:09pace, 262cals)

June 17th

• Bike 26.57 miles – 1:47:40 (14.8mph, 1193cals)
• Run 2.17 miles – 26:23 (12:10pace,  249cals) run cut short due to leg cramp

June 22nd

• Bike 19.14 miles – 1:20:12 (14.3mph,  810cals)

June 25th

• Swim 40 minutes continuous (466cals)
• Run 6.2 miles – 1:35:53 (treadmill intervals)

*Since the swim course is down river, actual swim distance is difficult to calculate accurately.  By looking at previous race data, I estimate my swim time should be in the 30-35 minute range. This is at a conservative pace since my main goal for the swim is not speed but efficiency. (Online references have breaststroke at 700 calories an hour at my weight range)
