Braveheart Brick Session

I came thisclose to missing the Braveheart brick session today, due to plain ol' laziness. I arrived late, so there weren't any of the loaner trainers left, so I ended up doing the bike intervals up and down E. Mission Bay Drive.

The workout:

Ten minute warm-up jog (most of which I missed), followed by a five minute warm-up spin

The bike intervals this time were nine minutes long. Two minutes race-pace, one minute in a hard gear, lather, rinse, repeat.

After the bike interval, we ran the course that was laid out. I ran less, but everyone else ran three-1/4 mile laps the first set, then 2 laps, then one lap for the last set.

Leslie and her husband Simon (of Braveheart Fitness Coaching) are SO nice and helpful and encouraging. Simon brought his tools today so he could take a look at my gears, because a couple were making noises, and the chain popped off a couple of times last week. He didn't end up needing to do anything, but it was really cool that he remembered to bring his tools to help me. :)

Tomorrow I am going to run three miles, Saturday I should do a swim workout, then begins the taper. I have gone from having panic attacks to being almost pretty sure I can do it. I know I can do it. It is going to be great. DFL or not. :)

Happy Independence Day, everyone!
