Thanks to the Bicycle Shop and the 15% discount they offer club members, I am now the proud owner of a Cycleops Fluid Trainer!  For those that don't know, it's a machine that you hook the axel of the bike up to and it has a wheel that your rear bicycle wheel sits on top of and it provides resistance so I can pedal inside and it really feels like I'm out on the road.  This is a much better improvement from commuting too and from work (especially coming home at midnight), plus I get to watch our family shows while pedaling so it's a great multitasker.  In other news, I ran 6 miles the day after the superbowl and felt awful due to the food and drinks and so I hit the pool later that day which actually went pretty good.  My warm up 300 was fast (for me) and I felt great during the sprints.  Yesterday I cycled indoors with the new trainer for about an hour to loosen my legs up and I think today is just going to be a long slow steady swim of 1.2 miles, hopefully in about 40 minutes.  Tomorrow will be my first BRICK (bike then run) so I'll be sure to post how bad my legs perform afterwards.  Thanks for checking in.
