Training continues, but has headed in a new direction for both Terri and I.  A few days ago, Terri and I started talking about maybe doing a sprint triathlon that is put on by the YMCA in the middle of May.  On Friday, Terri brought home the registration form so I guess it is a go go.  The triathlon will be swimming 16 1/2 laps, biking 10 miles, and running 3.1 miles.  So to start preparing for this event, Terri and I both did a bike/run workout.  Yesterday, I rode the bike for 4 miles on a exercise bike at the Y, and then ran 2 miles.  Terri rode about 7 miles outside and then ran for 1 mile.  The bike part of the workout really wipes out the legs which make the run more difficult.  I typically run about a 7:30 pace on the treadmill; however, after riding the bike first, I had to slow it down to a 9:00 mile pace.  I will also need to start getting in the pool more to make sure I will be good to go.  We both thought this would be a good test to make sure we are training right for the Tough Mudder.  If we are happy with our performance on the sprint tri, I figure I will keep doing the same thing.  If I struggle to finish, I will still have 5 or 6 weeks to tweek my workout so I will be ready for the middle of June which is when Tough Mudder is.  It is amazing how fast time is flying by. 

Speaking of the Tough Mudder, donations are still needed.  So please help me reach my goal by donating here:  https://register.toughmudder.com/fundraising/donate.aspx?event=13403&fundraiser=r7473298
