First Bike/Run Brick Workout

I took yesterday off, so I thought I should probably do something meaningful for today’s workout. I wasn’t quite sure what that would be, so I just came up with a brick workout. My next race is a spring triathlon, and I have to ride 12 miles and run 3. So I decided to do [...]
