Heeeey! I survived!!
I swam 600 meters in about 20 minutes, with several brief breaks (30 seconds or so) in a wonderfully empty pool.
It was about 73 degrees outside so I went to the gym in shorts, a running tee and flip flops! *Good ole Texas*
Went home, had black beans with cheese and chickarones, then loaded up for the second act of the day.
Once we got to the Edwards Ranch trail head, I got a little cold. I hadn't bothered to dry my hair much more than necessary after my swim and It kept sending cold drips down my back. The wind was starting to pick up and I was all goosebumps!
I wore a pink Nike tank and my usual BCG brand running shorts (spandex city), so I had no wind protection. (Also, I applied Unicorn Snot liberally. It's my secret charm.)
Filled my water bottle with Tailwind Nutrition. I ordered the variety pack a while back and today's flavor was tangerine. Eh.
I biked 6 miles in a little under 30 minutes, focusing on changing gears and keeping my knees from dipping towards one another. Of course I warmed up quick and was grateful for the clothing situation.
Honestly, I feel it's impossible to ride a bike and not smile!
When I finished up, I immediately secured the bike, turned around, and ran 3 miles in 29:35. And let me tell you- it felt AWESOME! I ran faster than usual after having already done 2 prior workouts! #winning #mybodyhasnocluewhatsgoingon
Oddly enough, the last mile of the run felt glorious! My body seems to do really well with extended effort tasks *thank you Lord*.
I thought I would stretch out, but the temperature had dropped about 10 degrees to the mid 60's and with all my sweat, I was starting to freeze. By the time we got home, it was in the low 50's! Tonight it's supposed to get to around 22 degrees! Eeeeew, thank you Jesus for all a warm home and plenty of blankets.
