I figured I ought to ride my bike at least once before the triathlon, so I went for a moderate ride this morning. I might be travelling the next three weekends, so this really was a must ride. Exercise bikes just aren't the same. That was my first ride this year. About time. Took about as long as I hoped it would (1:32), which is about what I did last year in the tri (26 miles). Different courses, but I was not pushing hard. This suggests to me that the low HR training I've been doing has improved my all-around aerobic fitness, which makes up for my lack of time on the bike.
I've only done slightly more swimming than cycling this year, so I used the same reasoning to get myself in the pool this afternoon. Felt reasonably good throughout (24 mins), so I feel comfortable with a month to go for the 0.9mi swim in the tri, as I should be able to swim during the week and when I'm on the road.
