A couple months back, I heard from a friend that there where some Bike/Run Workouts for RUNNERS who wanted to transition into TRIATHLONS or runners who just wanted to spice their training up with a little cross-training.
I'm always up for a challenge and since I already had put the ESCAPE to MIAMI TRI on my "TO-DO LIST", then it only seemed fitting that I try the workout out. I didn't even have a BIKE that fit me or Clip-ons when I decided I was going, so I fixed one of the two issues (the bigger of the two), by trading in my bike at BIKE WERX in Coral Gables and purchasing a RED BEAUTY that had me at HELLOOOO, or at the sight of her perfectly within my budget price-tag.

So a couple hours after bringing home my new baby, I took her out on a test ride...IRUN's Bike/Run Workout-- a group that I was also testing out but doubted that it would push me to the limits that it actually did. The thing that I didn't know about the people running the show was that they have a very simple approach to training. Their formula to getting faster is just-TRAIN HARD and FAST and then repeat that a couple times, whether on a bike, in the water, or on
the pavement!
Every two weeks over the summer this group met and everytime I showed up, I was left exhausted, humbled, and inspired.
This Saturday is the last workout of the summer, and guess who has even committed to attaching herself to a fast moving vehicle with beautiful new clip-ons?!?... Yup, yours truly.
