especially Paris Hilton if she thinks that awful song can pass for music. UGH. Can't stand the insipid lyrics, the awful melody, and the porn-movie video.
(Sometimes I wish I had a blog to comment on whatever I want. Today's off-topic post is triggered by the fact that there is nothing good on TV during the day. I work on a TV product for Microsoft, so I watch TV pretty much all day. Some days are okay when I can record enough worthwhile TV, but others are just awful and I resort to VH1 - which is okay until Paris Hilton comes on and then I'm offended, and so is everyone else who walks by my office.)
Now back to your regularly-scheduled dose of Jessica's exercise program!
I led a small group of women on another mini-tri today - 15 minute swim, 20 minute bike, 10 minute run. It was really fun. Man, swimming in the wetsuit makes SUCH a difference. Why didn't I realize it before? I'm definitely wearing the full for Danskin. I just wish I could get it off my ankles faster. But I know it will be worth it.
Somehow I burned 450 calories on this little workout, and I planned out my strategy for Danskin. It goes something like this:
Hammer the swim.
Hammer the bike.
Hammer the run.
Okay, seriously, more like this:
Swim: As fast as I can without changing my regular breathing rhythm. Time: 15 minutes (generous)
T1: 2:30. I might have a long run to my station, plus I need to get the wetsuit off.
Bike: HARD. Heart rate in the 160s the entire time, and if I enter the 170s, as long as it's for less than five minutes, that's cool too. Average speed needs to be 21 mph. Time: 35 minutes
T2: 1:30. This will be a stretch since I have to change my shoes and last year I did T2 in 1:36 without changing shoes.
Run: HARD. Heart rate in the 170s the entire time - pace should be 8 minute miles to max 8:30. PUSH THROUGH THE PAIN. Time: 26 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1:20
This leaves no room for error. Wow. This is going to be hard.
Thank you all who read this blog and have made so many supportive comments! Regardless of what happens, I know I'll experience the joy of DOING IT. But I'm pushing for the time, too!

I'm going to bust out of lurking to say: Good luck at your Danskin this weekend! You are going to have a blast.
"Hammer the swim.
Hammer the bike.
Hammer the run."
Sounds like my plan too! :)
I actually like the song, but not Paris Hilton :-) If you want your own blog to say anything you want, just need another login. I used to have a politcal ranting blog, but I decided to take it down after I figured it might get me killed. LOL. Ya know, you chicks that get your heart rates up into the 170s is really bringing me down. OK. Not really. I'm just SOOOO impressed!!!
