I-64 Timetrial!

BIKE: 8miles 7mile TT in 23:16 Garmin said about 18.9mph?

Cold, but awesome ride this morning. I had rather high expectations based on all the biking I did this summer, but the miles have been low lately. It seemed like I was always climbing a hill--the legs were just not snappy. Also it's hard to stay relaxed when you're cold. I think the biggest regret is that when tucked down and trying to stay warm you don't get to see much of what's around you. So I tried at some points to look around and and take in what I was doing, but I would have had to go back for the rec ride to really soak it in. Overall I was pleased with the effort, even though I kept thinking I had a flat tire or stuck chain! It took some pushing on some of those hills. The new bike fit is great, but the front end still wobbly. I just need to learn to hold the aerobars a little more

Tomorrow is 1 week for the left ankle injury. I have little if any pain but occasionally I can feel it move funny. Mostly when I pull backwards when the foot is planted. Not painful, just a feeling. I'm ready to try a run tomorrow, but probably not the full 7 miler I'd like to be doing.

I'm working on the training plan for next year. I think I've picked the free plan LS found. The other one only has running 2x a week. I'm still considering doing the GO! marathon in April. I have time to train if I start ramping up now--the race is 15w into 2010 and my plans call for 16-17w. Clock is ticking on the decision. Pros: maybe more confidence in WI, great base, love the training. Cons: potential injury, poor ratio of running to bike and swim, potential long recovery.

Numerics:

Run:6/171.15
2009 Run: 986.05 Seems this number will never hit 1000!
