Normally I wouldn't have counted today's travel day as a real training day, however b/c my flight was delayed and I left Monday morning, I was able to arrive today in Boulder with plenty of energy to unpack, build my bike, get to know some of my new housemates as well as train a bit.
I decide to jog down to East Boulder Rec Center to finalize my BAM swimming membership for the next month, but they told me I wasn't in the system yet, so we'll see. The "jog" in totally was over 6 miles, and probably running faster than necessary, but at least the legs aren't dead after SGR/ the long journey here. I Got bak & hope on my bike shortly after, riding the 8 miles down to Tony's house & ended up hanging out, talking with Tony for a while.. I really look forward to working closely with him this month.
I got back & met Andy, another member of the house, while stretching out. I began my 8 min plank when the neighbor walked into my room to use the laundry machine.. Awkward! But at least her dog like me (he licked me a bunch as I tried to side plank on one leg, I guess there's a first time for everything!) I finished up with 10x10pushups/20crunches] before showering, eating a little sandwich (yes mom, the food you packed me lasted all the way through tonight with even some left for tomorrow!)
Hopefully I can grab a fan for this room somewhere tomorrow, but besides that the set-up is great for me.
Tomorrow I am going. To sleep in a bit b/c the morning Boulder Res. open water swim is cancelled, so I'll swim at 1100 with Jane Scott at the main outdoor 50m pool here, Scott Carpenter. I also tentatively plan to jump in the Tuesday night "bus-stop" group ride, which I heard can get quite intense.. But hey, thats why I'm here, in Boulder, the train in the best environment possible!
