I started the day with another 1200 yard swim that went pretty well. I'm still using the pull buoy and kickboard to help build strength. I did notice that my knee was bothering me for most of the day today. It may have been because I spent a lot of the day sitting down during CRCT testing at school. It also could be that I have been doing quite a bit over the last few days. I will mention that to Dr. Karyn tomorrow at PT.
It's about time for me start putting together a focused plan for Lake Placid. We discussed it a little bit at yesterday's session, but it looks like I will need to start putting in 3 days of swimming, and 3 - 4 days of biking and walking (running when the surgeon clears me). Two-a-day workouts are going to be the norm for the foreseeable future. Once the schedule at school is back to normal I may be able to get my walking workout in during my planning period.
In other good news today, I did my first ride outside on the roads. It was definitely strange being back on the bike outside, and it took me a few miles to get used to it again. My knee held up very well, aside from the soreness that I felt all day and I was able to ride for 75 minutes and covered 21 miles. I averaged about 17mph which is decent. It would be nice to get faster if possible to leave myself a nice big time cushion for the run in Lake Placid.
I also did an upper body workout after my ride:
Pull-ups 4x18
Push-ups 4x25
