Long Rides...

It's Sunday morning and I'm sitting on the couch watching a triathlon that Meg recorded for me last night. It was supposed to be Kona from last year, but it turned out to be the ITU competition from DC. Oh well, tell you what though...these ITU guys make me want to go run sprints until I puke! These dudes are so fast. Anyone that can run sub 32 10k at the end of a tri has my respect.

Yesterday was a good day. Got our for an easy 5 mile run in the am and then out for a 5 hour bike ride in the afternoon. We had actually planned on going for about 4 hours, but Chris and I got a little lost! Oops! Actually, this was all my fault. The great thing is I think we both really enjoyed rolling around the countryside totally lost and just knowing that eventually we would find our way back home. It was actually pretty cool. The best part...once we had been riding around for about 30 min, having no idea where we were going I came up with an idea. "Hey Chris, hold on a second, let me check the GPS on my phone!" His response, "oh great idea, I have my Iphone as well." Talk about a couple of dummies having too much fun :) We didn't even think about using our GPS technology! Too funny.

Well, happy to say this week is winding down. I've nailed all my workouts and all I have left for today is a moderate length run and a swim workout. Followed by pizza with friends! Very nice. Next week will be another week of bigger volume, lower intensity as I continue to build up my base and then start to incorporate some speed work prior to racing over labor day. Happy Sunday to everyone!!
