Had a pretty good bike session with Adam today. Base effort for 3 hours with a hell of a lot of climbing. My fancy-pants new bike computor's altimiter wasn't working today (had us below sealevel most of the time) so I can't be certain of the exact amount, but if I had to guess it would be in the 6-7k range. There isn't a ton of long climbing on Long Island, but we hit every hard climb in the area. A lot are upwards of 15% grades.
I'm in an ok place right now with my training. I'm unhappy because I can't run, but swimming and cycling more bring me joy. I was reading "How Lance Does It" again last night and focused a lot on a part that describes Lance's outlook. He is aware of the negatives, but doesn't focus on them. Its important to push through adversity and maintain a positive attitude always. I'm not the best at doing this yet, but I'm going to make it a priority.
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.
