Felt Like a Brick Today

Actually, what I mean is that I felt like doing a brick workout this morning. A brick workout is when you do two disciplines of workouts one after another, replicating the scenario in an actual triatlon. A brick can be swim-then-bike, or more commonly, bike-then-run.

Up and out at dawn, I intended to do about a 38mi ride, but about 8 miles out, I decided to cut the ride short and add a run in. The ride total was only 22 miles, and I added a couple ascents up Summit Ave in Brookline to practice my climbing. Once home, I switched up my gear and headed out for a 7 mi run along the Charles. Legs felt really good after about a mile or so of loosening up. I was back home before 9am.

Later after work, stopped off at Ben & Jerry's for some yummy Coffee ice cream, then met up with friends Alyce and Neal for another run - a nice, conversational 4mi loop along the Jamaicaway trails and ponds. Dinner capped off our evening. Another great day of training and fun with friends.
