Day 17: Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Double Session

AM - NYAC Cycling Team | 24 Miles | Central Park

I decided to begin training / racing with the NYAC Cycling Team. I plan on joining them in the Park two or three days a week and on the weekends for long rides. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to work my schedule once I start up again with Full Throttle Endurance (my triathlon team) in early January, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. This morning's workout was intense - mostly because of the dark, cold, and I'm out of cycling shape. We did a warm up lap of the Park followed by a lap of three intervals 4:00, 6:00, 5:00 minutes, respectively, and a cool down lap. I then spun an easy extra fourth lap because it's been almost three months since I've been on a bike and, quite frankly, I'm a bit behind some of the other team members.

PM - Intervals Run | 6 Miles | East River Park Track

Planned workout:

2 by [400m @ 1:22 pace (100m rest), 1200m @ 4:10 pace (200m rest), 2000m @ 7:55 pace] (5 to 7 minutes easy jog between sets). Wish me luck.
