My kind of Triathlon (+ CTC)

Today the mrs was off out to see a friend and do "shopping" hmm I'll stay at home and get my chores done then - started early and got the house cleaned and tidied (downstairs) incl furniture moved to hoover under ie a proper job. So I'd planned one day to do a kind of triathlon - my kind of triathlon - stuff the running and swimming - I'd do road bike - erg - weights - so I did 

Out on the bike for my usual route and managed my fastest time to date  :-D [url=http://connect.garmin.com/activity/338341063]Garmin Output[/url] still slow by anyone who actually bikes  :lol: ave moving speed of 26.2km/h

Then back and changed into the AIO from the bike gear and out to the shed - screwed the seat back together (borrowed a bolt for erg in work) and then set about 60@18 HRR 170 (146) - with the temp at 24C (75F) - nice and sweaty - thought about canning it at 30min but decided to crack on - never know when I'll get an opportunity like this to train again so tried to work on technique

Then a blast at the CTC - started hard and kept it that way - in fact the HR went 1 bpm higher than my 2k yesterday :lol: but I mucked up the timing and about 5 seconds left on the clock with a pred finish of 671m showing I watched and daren't take another stroke to see my result drop to 661 and the second minute came in @19 FFS - oh well I'll get there - I might get someone to come in and count for me  :S

Finally some weights - trying to get the "ass to grass" in squats so bought a medicine ball and basically the idea is to get my butt to touch it - felt a bit like bambi trying to stand on the first few :lol: for those who know - are the heels supposed to rise? (I don't think they are)
