Friday I did another CP (FTP) test, following the computrainer PIG program. I did 20 minutes, but went out too hard at the start. Finished 7.5% higher than my last test, but it was rough. Great to see progress though. The next 10 weeks are going to be brutal, but will lay a great foundation.
Lauren and I went to Scranton for the St. Patrick's day parade. We both did the 2 mile fun run before hand. The weather was cool, but nice. I didn't bring shorts, so I ran in baggy pants...almost a huge mistake. Lauren finished around 20:30 and felt great. I came in at 11:15, but my lungs were killing me. I have done 0 speedwork, so it was tough. My legs felt great though, hoping I have the foundation to break 18 at the race against racism.
I'm happy with how the first race went. I won my AG, and placed around 6th or 7th overall. The top guys were college students (and one high schooler) on the cross country team, so not too shabby for a triathlete.
On a side note, I broke and fixed my treadmill. Learning a lot about how they work, but so far I've replaced the deck ($30 fix), the power switch/breaker ($40 with shipping). This time, the belt on the motor got loose, so it was slipping. After reading up online, I found some instructions and made the adjustment late Thursday night.
