fitter than last year?

With this early spring, I figure I must be a bit fitter this year in terms of biking. I have been out biking since early March. I feel a bit fitter but it is hard to tell. I did more spinning classes during the winter and they were more intense than in previous years. I feel like my hill climbing ability at the start of the season is not too bad. Still, I am doing a half-ironman triathlon on June 5th and that is not easy to be ready for that this time of year. Last Saturday, I taught spinning in the morning and then Corena and I biked to Montague with the wind with the plan of being picked up in Montague. It was a smart idea and it was good except that I got a flat tire just before we got there. We also did a fairly intense one hour hot yoga class in the afternoon. Sunday, we ran for 2 hours at a brisk pace. That is the longest run I have done in 2010 and I was hurting a bit that night. I was a bit stiff and sore. I would say we ran 23 or 24 k.

Monday, I did a great hot yoga class; Tuesday, I swam about 2200 metres and then did spinning in the afternoon; Yesterday, I swam again about 2200 metres and then went biking after work for about and hour and 15 minutes. I am taking today off. I was going to swim and then last night at about 10pm said to heck with it. I may swim tomorrow to make it three times this week.
