tuesday pm - 40mile BIKE + 6mile RUN
wednesday am - 30min SWIM + 25mile BIKE
cut swimming short this morning due to cramping in my calves. I think the large amount of exercise and heat yesterday resulted in me being a little dehydrated and not getting enough electrolytes straight after the 40mile bike ride and 6 mile run last night. got to bed quite late cause the biking and running took quite a bit of time.
my new bike pedals and shoes are pretty damn great. it makes everything so much easier from trucking along to hills to cheeky little sprints... everything is faster and easier and i'm well chuffed with them.
The humidity in dc is very high this morning (and was fairly high last night) so i sweated buckets on last nights run and ride and absolutely loads this morning. i'm going to have to pay closer attention to fluid replacement during and after exercise, especially with the biking and swimming because it just means i'm out there sweating for many hours more...But that stuff is so much more expensive than water. Then again, cramping up and having to cut short my swimming by 30mintues isn't the best option either.
resting heart rate was up this morning to 54 which shows i'm pushing myself a little hard. i tend to only get worried when it sky rockets somewhere over 60. Usually, after a two nights full sleep (8-10 hours) and a full complete day off any exercises, it settles to about 44-48, so 54 is a little high.
shin was a little sore every now and again in the pool at the trouble spot, and felt a little funny a couple of times this morning when i'd just gotten out of bed. reacting to yesterdays run i guess. i went through town on the concrete cause i'd been out on the bike for a good while and i wanted to run while looking at people to entertain me a little.
i heart my bike.
