Swim and run in Blue Ash

4/6/2014(SUN)
Swim 1100yd 0:25
Run 19.3km 1:43

In the afternoon, I went to Blue Ash YMCA for swimming.
Recently, I'm trying 100yd individual medley not to forget butterfly. But it's too hard for me.
And also, I'm trying flip turn, but I can't because I didn't have a chance to swim in Japan.

After that, I ran around there.
In Blue Ash, many roads has sidewalk, so we can make many running course easily.

Hill climbing bike course collections Vol.2

4/5/2014(SAT) Bike 101.6km 3:34

After the English class in the morning, I took a lunch, and then I went to bike ride for hill climbing practice.
In that time, I tried the other course. It was not harder than the last week, and we have a couple of chance to grab a bite, refill, and take a bathroom.
And also if you want to ride more, it can provide a roop in the south side of Ceaser Creek Lake.
I got one, but I wanna make some options which has more chance for hill climbing like a in mountains.

Searching for hill climb bike course

3/30/2014
Bike 86.5km 3:14

After the English class in the morning, I took a lunch and started bike ride in the afternoon.
Now I'm trying to make some bike ride course for good hill climbing training 'cause I have Ironman Lake Placid this year.
But unfortunately, there is no mountain in nearby. So it's too hard.

In this time, I tried the course crossing Little Miami river by OH 350.

But it was too hard not only uphill but downhill due to steep pitch...
In the next time, I'll try the other one...

The last week of March 2014

3/24/2014 No training due to fatigue of English class.

I don't know many appearance by English. So first, I want to learn only one phrase for one appearance.
But the teacher teach me many phrases for one appearance, so I couldn't remember them.
I understand it's important for me to learn English correctly. but I want to use my time and energy as efficiently as possible. Because learning English is not the purpose which I came to the US.

3/25/2014
Weight training abdominal, back, leg press
Swim 800yd 0:20

3/26/2014 No training due to overtime working past 9PM.

3/27/2014
Treadmill up+12.8km/h pace run+down 8.6km 0:45
Swim 900yd 0:25

12.8km/h (8mph) is my current maximum speed. About 15 minutes later, my heart rate exceeded 180! So I reduced the speed to 10km/h urgently...
Swim included 2 sets 100IM.

3/28/2014
Spinning 34km 1:10

Sunday crazy run

3/23/2014
Run 32.8km 3:05
Swim 500yd 0:20

Sunday regular running with BAMRACING team. It was over 30km and I had middle distance bike ride yesterday. So it was good for practice of Pig 4-way (the awesome category of Flying Pig marathon. It consists 5k and 10k race in May 3rd and marathon in May 4th.)
The first half 15k was okay, but on the way of second half, I got energy burn. So my heart rate went up skyrocketed and the pace went down...


After that, I took a short break at Starbucks and went LA fitness for relaxing slow swimming.
But Unfortunately, I forgot all swimming item! So I had to swim by raised fabric winter long bike tights...
I thought the winter tights is good for swim training because we can get good water drag for swimming...

Bike
After the English class in the morning, I went to the Indian resuaurant in north side of Blue Ash.
I found it by Google map a couple of days ago. They provide lunch buffet by $7.99.


It was really awesome and I ate too much!
So I had to wait a couple of hours to ride a bike...

I rode this course so many time, It's little bit bore for me...
I need some hill climbing course 'cause I'll try Ironman Lake Placid in July. The course is in the mountains, so I need mountains!
In the next time, I'll try to find out hill climbing course nearby.

Chicago

3/17/2014 No training

On the way to go back to Cincy, I visited downtown of Chicago for the first time.

We can go to downtown of Chicago by CTS, transportation system in Chicago. It's the cheapest way to go to the downtown.

The station is next to Terminal 3. We need to pay $2.50 ($5.00 only for O'hare route) per a one time. Or we can choose $10 one day unlimited ticket.



It took just 1 hour from ORD to downtown of Chicago.

At first, I went to the union terminal in Chicago to refill "iron". Here is the hub station of Amtrak in the midwest. So almost trains bound for the west coast and east coast are departures from here.





And next, I went to Skydeck which is in close of the union terminal.




It has some small decks made by glass and we can take a picture like a sky fly or like a fall down from the top.



Then, I went to the lakeshore of Lake Michigan by CTS and walked around there.





It's for the preview of the course of ITU world championship triathlon at Chicago.




The lake was really big. It looks like ocean... And it was still freezing.






After that, I walked to the downtown through beside Chicago river.





I wanted to eat some Japanese food in Chicago for lunch, but many of them are in out of downtown and we can't go there without car. But after the travel, I found out "Gyukaku" which can go by CTS. OMG, I lost Japanese style grilled beef..

After about four hours sightseeing, I backed to ORD and went back to CVG by AA.

I got some information about Chicago, so I believe to enjoy the next time.
