Restful day at New Town

RUN 3.3 miles in about 30 mins
BIKE 16 miles in about 75 mins

Rode out with RM to NT, really enjoy talking to him! And such a wide range of topics, he'd be a great long-drive partner.

We helped peeps with their wet suits as planned for the mentoring program, then he had a short run to get done. I joined his workout: 10 min run then 1 min walk, repeated three times. It's a strategy I'd used were I to do Hennepin 100 -- run/walk intervals -- so I was happy to test it here. Felt good! The time doesn't include the walks.

Then onto the ride. Wiiiiiiindy!! We set out with 2 new riders for a tour of the 20 mile NT race route. We didn't follow it exactly so ended up a bit short on mileage. But the goal was a safe ride in which the new riders learned something and made it home OK. Success! Even though I was unhappy that we rode briefly on a highway! I don't ride there, and I've been doing this for 10 years!

Felt good riding, had Frea today. The cross winds had me nervous and I was out of aero for most of the ride. Not worth a crash. So I really didn't get to test how the back feels today.

The goal was to rest and be ready for a long trail run tomorrow. Think I succeeded!
