This has been a great weekend. I had two great workouts yesterday. Neither was all that intense, but I'm base building. First, I had a nice ride on my trainer. Only 30 minutes, but with a pyramid of resistance and cadence for the middle ten minutes, I worked up a solid sweat.
Then, at lunch I swam. I'm just back in the water this week, but I did a long warm-up set with a mix of swim, pull (paddles and buoy--love that!), kick, and drill. (1000m). Then a set of 10x50 on 1:00 descending 1-5. My fast ones were :32. Pretty good for 4th day in the water.
But what made the weekend had nothing to do with triathlon. My church (full disclosure, I'm a pastor) had a teaching weekend: a media ecologist, Dr Read Schuchardt, from Wheaton College--my alma mater, spoke. Unbelievably good!
He was a PhD student of Neil Postman (Amusing Ourselves to Death, and Technopoly). It was great.
Well, gotta run. Literally. 4 miles, easy.
