Yeah, I did. Crowded... had to split a lane with someone else. Ended up with a few lane rope nicks, but I'm unscathed otherwise.
It's been over 5 months since I've either swam or run (although the last time I did was Singapore 70.3)... focussed on cycling for now. I'll become a triathlete again this summer. (=
Pool only opened at 11:45... I had a class at 1, so I had to push myself a little to wrap up everything.
132x25 yard laps of front crawl in 5 sets of 26 (with 2 laps warm up). 3300 yards ~= 2 miles. Finished in 54 minutes, which gives me an average of 24.5s a lap.
No pics for this one unfortunately... the pool was crowded, and I figured I'd look like a creep if I were to snap pictures of myself / the pool.
Post ride: Turns out that the cereal does look a lot more appetizing after you've been riding. I was half bonked during the trainer ride... didn't have anything for breakfast apart from a powergel just before my run. Ended up wolfing down the cereal and a quart of water.
One and a half hours of riding, so says the timer on my cyclo-computer. Kept myself entertained by watching episodes of Futurama. Should make up 23 miles, don't you think?
This has got to be a first... blogging while on the trainer! Things you can do when you have a laptop, a wireless internet connection, and a sturdy trainer. Started my ride at 0815h, will keep going to 1000h. Zone 2, will throw in a few zone 4 intervals if I feel up to it. Currently in my small ring in front, 14 at the back. If any of you has ridden a Kurt Kinetic trainer before, you know what that feels like... it's harder than it sounds.
I've got sustenance in the form of a box of cereal and a bottle of water next to me. Hopefully that will last... the cereal doesn't look too appetizing right now, but it probably will an hour or so into the ride.
Pre Run: 0720h. And it begins! Woke to my alarm at 7am; I'm now all changed up and good to go. It feels like 25F out according to weather.com, so I'm dressed in tights, Underarmor and a windbreaker.
Post Run: I guess I'm a fair weather runner... I've never run in such bad weather before! It was sleeting the whole way, and the pavement was covered with a thin layer of snow. 27'17" for 3 miles... not too bad for the off season, considering the weather. On to the trainer ride...
Swim, Bike, and Run your Age!
If Not Now, When?

Congrats and Happy B-Day!
Thanks for the great pictures. I feel like I was out there with you Brrr is right!
It looks like you had a cold run, but a warm bike.
Did you make it to the pool?
Inquiring minds want to know?
