After almost 3 weeks off due to my toe injury, I went to Red Pine Camp with the family and had a great week. I made the most of my week (you can read more about it here) and enjoyed a very active week. One filled with a solo 7 km hilly run, swimming, water skiing, Stand-up-paddle boarding and lots and lots of walking.
Since being back, I have enjoyed a few nice, shorter distance runs, headed to the pool to swim some laps, met a friend to do some weights at her gym and acquired a road bike from my brother.
This weekend, I will attempt my first "brick" workout. For those not in the know (until recently, I would be included in that group!), a brick workout is a bike ride, followed immediately by a run. Apperently I am to expect jello legs for the run portion.
I'm doing this in preparation for my next challenge.
A triathalon.
Baring any complete disasters during this week's brick workout, I am planning on signing up for my first ever try-a-tri (a distance of 100 meters swim, 13km bike and 3 k run) to be held at (and around) the Nepean Sportsplex on September 29.
The bonus to this particular tri is that the swim portion is in the 50 meter pool. No crazy waves (other than the man-made ones from the swimmers), current or bad weather to contend with!
Stay tuned! More to come after Sunday's workout!
