Do you Do Dus?

So today was my first two-sport day in my training program. After 50 minutes on the bike yesterday at mid effort (zones 1 and 2) today called for another 50 minutes but at a stepped up pace (zones 1-3) and then a 10 minute run. Well, if you have never tried running after biking, it's like trying to run with legs filled with Jello and set in concrete blocks. You think the legs are moving a lot, but you don't make up much ground. It feels very weird, and the point of today's training session was to get us used to the strange feel of shifting from bike to run.

Today today was 17 miles on the bike and just over a mile running, but it felt like a lot more. All down at Haines Point on a lovely day. 50 and bright spring sunshine and the blossoms starting to explode.

Too bad tomorrow is not a rest day. I think I could use one.
