Brick

I have officially started my training for the MCM (yesterday) but I have to continue training for the dualthon which is July 2 so I have to add a brick once a week. My timed run went well yesterday. I have to get used to running a timed amount rather than miles for my short runs. I am used to just running for mileage. Brick today went ok. The first two legs were great but the third one kick my butt. HUMIDITY! Ran 3.0 miles then hopped on my bike and rode 10 miles. Took off for the last run and ended up run/walking 2.0 miles. It took me 2 hours to accomplish this brick. I NEED to get faster afterall the awards ceremony is schedule 2 hours after the start of the race! I still have two more bike miles and one more run mile to add. Things I learned:
1. I love my mirror that my husband put on my bike. I can now see anything that comes up behind me.
2. A bike helmet is a LOT cooler than my baseball cap.
3. I am learning to drink water and maintain my bike speed.
4. I have a great husband for not getting mad at me as I continue to buy little gadgets.
