Oly Training, day 1

Today ended up being quite busy. I planned the time pretty well, but ended up losing minutes here and there and had to trim back my bike ride. Hoping I did the right thing by ramping up the difficulty.

Woke up early, went to meeting, then the gym. By the time I got in the pool it was 11:35am. Swam 300m warmup, then 200m ladder, plus 100m cool down. Total of 1300m in 35mins. Training log suggested 24mins, but went with the workout instead of time.

That put me back 10 mins plus "transition", so by the time I got to the bike, I really only had half an hour instead of 48mins, as the schedule requests. Instead of doing an "easy" ride, I did 27 mins of intervals with 2 standing climbs and 2 standing flats. Kept the intensity moderate, not hard, but more intense than originally expected.

Day one out of the way, though. Would have split the workouts (which I think is what you're supposed to do), but I had to work this afternoon and didn't want to miss.

Trying to eat more. Friends are helping. Thanks, friends!
