What's a brick workout? Today I hit a 20 mile ride then got in my first swim workout in years, with a mellow 2300 yards. I thought I was gonna die at about the 300 yard mark, then found my rhythm and was swimming faster and smoother by the end of the hour. I think I'll have no problem pairing swim workouts with a ride or run, but hitting up a run and ride in the same day still sounds kinda brutal. I guess I could shorten my rides. Actually, my bike's having an ongoing problem and is back in the shop indefinitely (see my post in mechanic's forum...) so running it is.
