Training Journal

I am training for both Xterra triathlons and mountain bike races. I am not very fast yet(thus the need for training). If you have suggestions for how I could improve my workouts, leave a comment.

Bike and Run

This morning I did and bike and run in corner canyon. I started at the equestrian center and biked up clarks and down ghost. I did a pyramid timed interval on the way up. It consisted of 1-2-3-3-2-1 with the same length recovery after each interval. I also tried to eat something before I started. I had some bike trouble today. My rear derailer was sticking and my rear breaks were clicking.
After the bike ride I ran back up the canyon. I did not get to run as far as I wanted, because I had to get to work, but it was good to get out.

  1. I noticed you didn't consume any complex carbohydrates. Is that coincidental or do you avoid them?
