20 miles - cycling

I got a 20 mile ride in today which felt pretty good.

I began to think about trying for a triathlon in september -- perhaps one or two. That would give me about 60 days to train, +/- 15 days.

Indeed, I likened this to my first year of law school. That year I did no triathlons, because my newfound education required my focus. Similarly, my new career as a prosecutor, has requred my focus to the degree that I haven't had the focus, time, attention, or energy necessary to be an effective triathlete. Nor even a functional triathlete.

I still have a decent base of fitness -- as shown by today's ride -- at about 14.7 mph. Usually it's more like 12-13 mph -- but I attribute the bump up because not only did I have a flat ride, but also because I have done more rowing and, in particular, more MTB riding. That climbing develops power -- and I could feel the power today. That's good.

However, my lack of running and swimming presents problems.

My thought was to run morning workouts and evening workouts -- except when I'm in a trial.
