I heard it’s because your legs feel like a ton of brick by the time you start the second leg of the workout!

This isn't from any official source, but I've heard that the term brick comes from bike-run-ick,.

it’s called ‘doubling’. or, in your case, ‘tripling’.

i like haight’s suggestion. either bike in your running shoes and wear some tri shorts, or bike in your biking shoes and run barefoot.

then you’d be truly hardcore, ‘doubling’ bricks.

I’d call it “Two Hard Workouts.” Where did the name “brick” come from anyway??

Brick schmrick…

Maybe on your way to work you can ride the bike for the first 5 miles….lock the bike to a post….then run the rest of the way…and reverse on the way home…then you can say you did two bricks in one day…of course clothing could be an issue
