In Lieu of Green Beer, I Think I'll Train

I had so much fun stuff to post, that I forgot about my training for this morning. I had an hour-long bike ride scheduled on the calendar. Because of my seat fiasco (see yesterday's entry), I was not able to ride my bike. I even got up at 5:30am this morning to try to switch seats from my old road bike to my new one just so I could ride my bike. No such luck...the seats aren't compatible and my old stem needs to be cut off because of the Kestrel design. Oh well, I guess I have a lunch project today.

In any event, I head to the gym and hopped on one of the spin bikes. There was no official class this morning so I did my own thing while listening to Episode 10 of the triathlon podcast "Get Your Geek On." Actually, every 5 minutes I alternated between a fast cadence spin with little resistance and an out of the saddle pedal stroke with medium resistance. I didn't do anything too difficult because I have a 22 mile hilly training run tomorrow morning for Boston. After the 1:00 bike, I hopped on the treadmill and did 1 mile at a 9:00 pace. Another good workout even though I would've preferred to be on my own bike this morning!
