Mini-indoor triathlon

I had a go at this month's challenge in the gym, a mini-indoor triathlon: 1.75km running, 7 km cycling and 1.5km on the rowing machine. Total time 31:10. I haven't used a treadmill in over 8 years, so was pleased with the running bit at 9 mins 34 secs. The cycling machines are uncomfortable compared to a bike, as the saddle is huge and the position is very upright, but I did 7k in 14 mins 10 at a very high cadence (over 100). The rowing was hard after the running and cycling, and as I was out of practice too, I did 1500 m in 6 min 25.

It took a while to recover and at least that has set me a target to try to beat perhaps next week....
