Schedule of Pain: Triathlon training

I finally found a swimming buddy!!! For the past two weeks I've been up, ready and swimming at 6 in the morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Jen may scoff at the time, but I honestly haven't regularly woken up before 8 am since swimming in high school. So HA! Anyway, I've been working out my legs a lot because I'm doing the SUU Indoor Triathlon in March (the 23rd). I won't have any problems with the swim, but it's the bike and the run that I'm worried about, hence the major leg workouts. Here's what I've been doing:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Go to the gym
Run for 25 minutes
(I've been getting 3 1/2 miles on the elliptical)
Bike for 25 minutes
(I've been getting around 7-8 miles)

Tuesday, Thursday
Swim for an hour
(generally 300 warm-up, kick for a while, pull a 100, kick some more, 100 cool down)
Jazz class
(1 hr 45 min of butt-kicking exercise!)

Saturday (optional)
Abs workout at the gym

This is the schedule of pain. I'll record and post my Jazz warm-up as soon as I can, so you can enjoy this wonderful, funny-looking, work out!
