Weekend at home, part 1

BIKE: 24 miles in 1:14. From home to GR and back.
RUN: 6.5 miles in 58 mins. From home to school road and then some.

I was going to do my long ride today, the one I picked on MMR, but the potential for rain and the need to be home in the early afternoon changed my plans. So I exchanged Sat and Sun plans. So hopefully the weather holds up for tomorrow!

Today was great weatherwise--80's, sunshine, some winds. So much cooler than my last few rides! I knew the ride was only going to be one hour, so I rode ABP with a sweet tailwind. I was ABP on the return trip with a headwind and hit a few points of flat energy, but was otherwise cruising along with no problems. Really hope the weather holds for tomorrow...

The run was right after the ride, just a few minutes for a gel and shoe change. I took off fast, but decided to ABP this one too. Why not, it was only an hour? I was happy to find I can no "brick legs", I'd like to think I've adapted to where I can buzz off the bike and take off on a smooth run. This happened in IMKS too. If anything, I'm taking off too fast. I slowed a bit on the hills, found myself breathing heavy too, but always the HR was in the 150's. The easy temps and rest yesterday helped there. Tomorrow's brick run won't be this fast or smooth. And the weather? I hope it holds!
