Training Notes

Just a few notes on how the new training is going.
1. The cadence meter is a very vaulable tool. It makes it much simpler for me to know when to shift gears.
2. Threshold run training is tough. I have a hard time keeping my pace slower on the warm up because I'm so used to starting out fast.  It takes some discipline to keep myself running a little slower.  The actual threshold part of the run was tougher than I expected.  I have no trouble keeping myself to a slower pace during the cool down.  The weather is getting warmer, and I'm not looking forward to conditioning myself to run in the heat.  It's harder to run fast when it's hot outside.
3. I need to wear my HR monitor, and use the data to evaluate my training and fitness. I have a fear that working out at a lower HR will give me slower run and bike paces, and so I haven't been utilizing the HR monitor.  
4. If I can swim 10x100 at race pace, then I can  swim 1500 in a race.
