Triathlon training day 1...

So I have decided that 2010 is going to be my year of random fitness goals. The major one is the triathlon I have decided to participate in in August. It's what I'd like to call a baby triathlon - 400m swim, 10km bike, and 2.5km run.... the distances might not be long, but I think that's plenty to start! ;) I would also like to run at least one half marathon, probably in the spring. Considering how miserably out of shape I am, I decided to start training now!

Today was my first day of training and the following were my numbers:

Run - 2.5km in 18.52 minutes, average incline of 4.
... followed by 20 minutes of strength training, lifting weights, etc...
Bike - 10km in 23.04 minutes, average include of 8.

Not so fabulous overall BUT it's only day one and I can get through the triathlon land distances without dying - good news! And really, I am posting these rather dismal numbers to look back on in 10 months and see just how far I have come. :)

Yippie!
