Ode to bricks

Bricks, the backbone of triathlon, so I'm told.  You bike, then your run, then you fall over.  Too bad cycling shoes have cleats that get in the way of running.  Too bad running shoes don't stick to the pedals of your bike.

Doing bricks Mondays and Fridays at the Y.  Campy's class is fun, and a very heavy 8 out of 10.  Then hop on the treadmill for a 7-8 minute pace.  Ideally by the time it's tri season (June-September for me), I'll have the run times below 7 minutes.  Also, need to do REAL cycling and running at the course, the Kirkland Sprint Tri.  Lots of hills, and good place to practice hitting turns the right way, downhill corners, what gear to shift in, etc.  Oh did I mention, Lots of hills?

I love this stuff....
