Group Training #4: Brick Workout (Bike & Run/Walk) on 2/28/09

Only 3 more group training sessions before the Sprint Lone Star Triathlon on April 4 (Arpil 5 for the Quarter and Half Ironman Distances). So here's the lowdown for this session:

What: Brick workout, i.e. some biking followed by running. Our guest coach, Cindy Bucek of Southwest Cyclery [http://northwestcyclery.com/map.cfm?StoreID=2] is a seasoned cycling coach and has trained many triathlon teams. She will lead us through a discussion on bike preparation, cycling technique and what to expect on race day. She is a GREAT resource, and we are very fortunate to have her support!

We will follow up our cycling approximate 45 minute bike ride with about 20 minutes of Running/Walking. This will help get you used to transitioning between the two sports on race day.
