Swimming the week before the event

Usually the swim routine consists of a lot of splits, drills and kicking. Yesterday was actually pretty nice, just get into the pool and swim for 45 minutes. No kicking or drilling, just get in there and swim.

I gave it a try to train with the new Garmin 405 watch that I bought and as pleased as I am with the running and biking performance, I cannot say the same about the swimming. Being fair, is not designed for water activities. Anyway,it's a cool thing to see your swimming routine in Google maps.

I forgot to turn it off, I obviously didn't swim all the way to my house.

Bike ride

This was an awesome, cool, Sunday morning bike ride!! Take a look at the elevation, the legs DO feel this climbs. Getting ready for Wildflower!

April 21--Quick update--

I haven´t blogged in a long time....sorry. I have been really busy with the fundraising. I managed to reach my quota of $2,900!!!!

So here is an outlook at my morning cycling routine through beautiful, hilly, sometimes chaotic Berkeley. I think this is probably one of the best places in the world to train for a cycling event. Take a look at the altitude gains, my legs are finally getting used to climb, rigth on time for Wildflower....only one week away.
