Good one today. For most of the bike I really took it easy. Dragged my buddy Adam out again to ride. LOTS of climbing for most of the 50, but didn't really turn up the intensity until about 5 or 10 miles left in the ride. Those were FAAAST and FURIOUS-All out effort. I honestly gave every bit I had left in these miles with no regard for human life-MY human life!
The run was a bit more of the same, but I did go out a bit harder. The start was a bit of a relaxed pace (around 7:30 or so). Again did a TON of climbing on this run and ended the last 6 miles around a pace of 6:30.
I'm fascinated by the fact that I just continue to get stronger and stronger the longer the day goes. I felt better running today than I did in Monday's long tempo effort-and my legs are still sore from that day! By the time I hit the final miles of today's run, I felt like I could hold that pace for a while more.
All along I thought I had speed and no endurance. Boy how things change...
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.
