Brick

Sunday I did my first Brick in preparation for my Triathlon dash on April 17th.  A brick is a work out where you do all or at least a combo of the triathlon events. My workout was a 1 mile run warm up (at an 11 minute pace) on a treadmill, then I biked 6 miles (in just over 25 minutes), then swam a fast 200 yard free style, followed by an additional 400+ yards to get my body better adapted to the water.
I learned a few things:
1) I will be able to finish this Triathlon even though the swim is open water, the bike is 0.5 miles longer than what I did (with some hills) and the run is 1 mile more.
2) My arms are ubber wimpy
3) I have got to find a better swimsuit.  Something with support!

It was a good workout and actually invigorating.  Hopefully it was just the first Brick in a stack that will build me into a brick house.

Musical Inspiration:

"She's a brick----house

Mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out

She's a brick----house

The lady's stacked and that's a fact, 

ain't holding nothing back. 

She's a brick----house

She's the one, the only one, 

who's built like a amazon 

We're together everybody knows, 

and here's how the story goes. 

1. She knows she got everything

a woman needs to get a man, yeah. 

How can she use, the things she use

36-24-36, what a winning hand! 

2. The clothes she wears, the sexy ways, 

make an old man wish for younger days

She knows she's built and knows how to please

Sure enough to knock a man to his knees"
