Tri Training W3D1

So today i swam 200m (100 free, 100 breast) and made good time doing it: it took me about 12 mins. Next i headed to Stoker Stadium to use the track. i warmed up on lap one, ran lap two, and then ran intervals the next two laps (mostly running the straightaways and walking the curves), and walked the final lap to cool down for a final distance of about 1.375 mi. After yesterday's bike ride i'm pretty tired and do have some sore bones in my butt... or pelvis or whatever, they're sore from being sat on a certain way, not from friction or anything. Anyway, i didn't feel strong today, was starving after my workout, and tried to eat more protein today.

i looked into joining St. Mary's Life Center but am really disgusted with the fact that you have to have a $50 initial session with a trainer unless you get the two-week pass first. It would be slightly more expensive for me to join the life center than continue paying cash to go to the Orchard Mesa Pool, but of course that's only if i don't use the gym as well (i would probably be using it some, but would like to predominately train outside). The pass is cheapest per swim, but will only cover eleven of my swims before Memorial Day (at which point it can't be used until Labor Day); after that i will still have six more swims. The plus side of the pool pass is that i can share it with family members, i can't do that with the gym membership, and i will be able to use the pass again next fall. Unfortunately it's buying in bulk and thus expensive. i could just continue to pay the individual fee each time i go in... which comes to about the same amount as the gym membership. Argh, i'm talking in circles.

...

Upon further contemplation, the two-week pass and one month of membership sound like the best bet, because that will only be four swim sessions left without a membership, which comes to about $.14 cheaper per swim than paying cash every time i go to the Orchard Mesa Pool. At that point i can go to any pool (Lincoln Park's pool will be open) or Highline Lake itself to practice swimming in open water. A day long park pass is $6, camping overnight is $14, which would be good for swimming one afternoon and biking the course the next day or vice versa. Hmm, maybe i should do a brick then. i sure am feeling ambitious considering how tired i am right now, i hope this gets better. Can i run a full 30 mins. again on Friday? i didn't feel like i could today.

i really, really need to do some research for next week's presentation for U.S. Lit. and i am totally unmotivated.
