Mean Mean Man

The Mean Mean Man, Coach Paul, scheduled our workout at the Alameda Ferry Terminal last night. He kept warning us about the wind there but I've run there before and it's never been horribly bad, umm boy was I wrong. What a difference between the morning weather and the evening weather :O( It was CRAZY windy which explained why we were doing our brick there. The crazy 20 mph wind while riding our bike was like going up a never ending hill and we were suppose to ride into the wind at Level 7 or 8.....YIKES!! Everything about the workout was a bit tough but I felt good and it was, I must admit, a great workout. It made up for us skipping swimming on Tuesday.

Run 4 minutes out and 4 minutes back
(0.83 miles - 8.58 minutes)

Bike down Harbor Bay Parkway from Ferry Terminal and ride into South Loop Road at Level 3-4. Turn back to Harbor Bay Parkway with headwind and ride at Level 7-8.
(3.48 miles - 15:48 minutes)

Run 5 minutes out and 5 minutes back
(0.97 miles - 10:51 minutes)

Bike down Harbor Bay Parkway from Ferry Terminal and ride into South Loop Road at Level 3-4. Turn back to Harbor Bay Parkway with headwind and ride at Level 7-8.
(3.52 miles - 17:28 minutes)

Run 5 minutes out and 5 minutes back
(0.84 miles - 9:29 minutes)

Workout Totals - 9.45 miles combined bike/run took me 1 hour and 2 minutes.

Tonight we go back to the pool.

and he's not really a mean mean man :o) he's a nice man who pushed us like crazy last night. THANK YOU Coach Paul.
