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.

Haven't updated in a while
My training is starting up again for this year. I hope to get everything up to date soon. I have one more week of strength training program, then I will be focusing on triathlons. I have been riding and running, but no swimming since last year.

Evening Swim in outdoor pool
Swam in the outdoor pool this evening. i went about 35 minutes. Most of the time I was wearing fist gloves. I did not keep track of how far I was swimming.
Cruise intervals
Did 10 minute cruise intervals at lunch today. Wanted to do 4, but was having a hard time getting my heart rate up where I wanted it so I only did 2.5. I probably should of just skipped the workout, but wasn't going to be able to ride tomorrow or Sunday.

Bike Workout.
Went to corner canyon and did a bike workout today at lunch. I did some long intervals. 10 minutes each followed by 2-3 minutes rest. I tried to keep my heart rate in 155-160 range during the interval. I did 3 sets. I was hoping to do 4, but felt I had a pretty good workout after 3. Overall it felt like a strong workout.
