I had to spend a little extra time out on the bike today. I just rebuilt my Specialized Tarmac road bike and I'm rediscovering how much I love it. After a summer riding nothing but my tri bike and the occasional mountainbike outing, sitting on my road bike is like sitting on the couch eating a bag of chips. I forgot how comfy this damn thing is! I can't wait to put in some 6 hour rides this winter on it! Kinda like meeting up with an old friend.
The bike included some impromptu sprints-generally when I had to get out of the way of the idiotic drivers here on Long Island. The never cease to amaze me.
The 20 mins I spent running was actually 25, done with one of my favorite clients. We did some slow running, but I pushed the pace with him a bit at times and ended the run with an all out half mile.
I probably did a bit more today than my coach wanted me to, but I couldn't help it. I love this triathlon stuff. I've been training at this point for almost an entire year and mentally I still get excited every day for training. It's time to take a break and I know my body needs it. It'll be nice to finsish with a strong race this Sunday, kick back for a couple weeks, and then start again.
This is our new blog detailing our daily adventures, mountain bike racing, endurance sports, and maybe even some cooking (that's Anne's domain!). We will share our experiences with life, training, and most importantly, being a team-both in marriage and in our sport.
