Training with the Garmin! and My Dream Bike!

Ok so had a great day...went for a swim with my friend Luis at the Cranston YMCA...Here is the link to my swim results today...Frist time using Garmin!!!  I did an easy 550 yards...I wanted to check on the new Garmin 910xt, I just got....

It is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Counts distance, strokes, elevation, heartrate, intervales, time, plus a bunch of other things I am not even sure about yet!!!!! 

Then we went for the First RUN:OUTISDE of the year... a sweet 5.5 miles in just uner 59  minutes..you can check out the rest of the stats from the run today at the following link==>..Todays Run.

So the Garmin 910xt...First time I have ever used a training watch...I liked it alot (can you tell??).  This watch is pretty light and flat.  Was not too diffucult to go from screen to screen once I realized what screen was what....Thank you to Melissa for helping me set it up yesterday...  The watch did not effect my swim stroke at all. On the run, Only thing was trying to decided if I want to wear it on the front or back of my wrist..That will have to be a decision I will have to make as I train more with the watch and heart rate monitor on. 

Speaking of heart rate monitor.  I did not even realize I had it on while I was running!!!!! And it worked great!

So we went to Providence Bike this afternoon to look at the bike candance to match the Garmin and there she was....MY DREAM TRI BIKE  the Quintana Roo CD0.1 Women's Triathlon Bike...So I am thinking and thinking and thinking about buying this bike....I can go put it on layaway  and it is on sale right now..over 30 off!!!  But if I did that then I would need a new helmet and new shoes and pedals!!!!  Maybe even a PINK TRI NEW SUIT!!!!

As soon as the taxes are done and the refund comes in.....I just might!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We also had our first skype call with Coach Tara......It went really well after we all figured out how to use the skype.

I was able to do all the assigned workouts plus a little more....I felt good the whole week...
