Does surfing count as training?

There was supposed to be a decent swell today so I had to forego any swimming and take it to the ocean today. I surfed for a while this morning. The waves were nothing special, but it was good to be in the water.

Went for a six mile run when I got home and took the rest of the day off. I kept a pretty good pace on the run and didn't tire as much as I thought I would.

I am looking forward to a good weekend of training. A long bike ride on Saturday and a long run, hopefully ten miles, on Sunday with a few miles in the pool in between. We'll see...
