Friday Ride Run

And we're off.  Off, meaning, FRIDAY OFF! YES!  I did a 3 hour ride followed by 30 min run and just got back. Now I have the whole rest of the day to myself. You wouldn't believe how good this FRIDAY DAY off agreement feels!! So my outfit is a ride run combo.  The idea is you jump off your bike and run immediately to train your legs to do this when you are racing.  I basically came home, racked my bike, changed out of my bike shorts bike shoes and off I went running.   In a real triathlon you wear one outfit for the whole race. You swim in it (with the wetsuit overtop), run out of the water, peel off the wetsuit, throw on your helmet, glasses, bike shoes and go.  Then when you come in, rack your bike, helmet off, change from bike shoes to run shoes and throw on a hat or visor.  The key is quick transitions between sports. My quickest times have been around 1.5 minutes for transition.  My upcoming 1/2 ironman race is in 2 weeks... ohhhh boy!!

Have a super awesome sunny happy day everyone!! and Happy Weekend!! xox Jodi

  1. Good luck with your Ironman. Sounds like fun (if a bit terrifying). Is the cat a training aid? :-)

  5. Whoa! The real Jodi reveals herself!

    You are my hero. If I ever get in trouble, I dream you'll swoop down, sweep me up in your strong arms, and carry me to safety. It's nice to know you're out there...

  8. Hey Jodi - yes, my run is the Edge to Edge!! I wish I had time to swing by Victoria for a coffee date with you, but since my hubby and I are only taking a week (and we're driving) I won't have time :( If you're ever in Edmonton, though, you will have to ring me up!
