#covid19workout

Broke in a new pair of sneakers to do my first virtual duathlon for @newyorktriathlon.

The March Madness Duathlon was 2 miles of running, 12 miles of cycling and 2 extra miles if running. Originally I was scheduled for a 2 hour cycling session from my coach with a 30 minute run – decided to commit to both.

My endometriosis flare up caused me to have a really late start. Kinda thankful this was a virtual race. Social distancing was a breeze since I ran at night and I took my cycling section indoors on my trainer.

Admittedly it’s not the same without the cheers and crowd but it felt good to run again.

My medal will be available once all of this stuff is over. In the meantime, I gifted myself some wild salmon before bed.

Today’s Workout:

Run: 4 Miles, 1 hour, 3 minutes|Cycling: 28 miles, 2 hours (including 7 to 8 minute bathroom break)

After so many race cancellations and postponements, I opted to take on a virtual race that matches my training for this weekend.

I’m freshly signed up for the March Madness @newyorktriathlon Tri. Still figuring out what I’ll wear, safe hours to take on the run outdoors and if I’ll do IG/ Facebook stories like I used to do with traditional races. All I do know is that I needed something to make me feel “normal” or close to it.

Nevertheless, check out today’s workout from @coachmorgonlatimore. I feel nice and tired after that workout.

I did 5 rounds and 25 minutes on the bike. Feeling pumped and excited once again. Anyone else signed up for virtual events?

On a positive note, my cycling speed is increasing again and I’m having a bit of fun compiling playlists to match my workouts while home.

Allowing music to be my voice is something I practice regularly. Whether I’m making some elaborate 2 hour meal to creating a vibe, music is a muse that I love using.

When I’m on the trail or road, I don’t use it as much because I prefer to be aware of my surroundings. Cycling indoors on my trainer afforded me the opportunity to express myself in a tone deaf way – but it’s rare that I share that scary sound on camera.

Check out my @spotify playlists on my Instagram Highlights.

After I fuel up, I’ll be hitting the bike and the mat again for another workout. Just because things are changing doesn’t mean that I need to abandon my triathlon goal.

Yesterday’s progress:

Cycling: 45 minutes, 12 miles completed at 15.7mph pace
