BIKE: 60 miles in 3:30
Sunshine, wind out the south, record breaking temps in the 80's. Great group with LC, DC, JM, GT, RM, PS, and CM. Fresh legs, fast bike, and solid nutrition. It all added up to a great day!
I knew once I saw the group that this would be a ride for speedwork. I see most of these riders as the strongest triathletes in the area, so I knew that if could keep pace with them I'd have myself a great speed workout.
And that I did! I wasn't all red-line effort but most of it did feel like race pace. Heck, we hit 50 miles at a minute under 3hrs, which is a reasonable (but maybe slow for most) measurement for HIM work, which is 56 miles under the 3hr mark. But could I have run 13.1 after this ride...hmmm....
Nutrition was a little heavy--infinit, powerbar, lara bar, raisin/almond mix. Maybe could have lightened it up a bit? My stomach was still messed up from a few days ago but in recovery. It didn't hinder me at all, it was more of a mental distraction when it hurt.
Today we flew :) and I LOVED it. Some days you feel great, and you just have to take advantage of it. :)
