Whoot woot - You rock.

Nice job!  Congratulations!

2:15 on the trainer this morning.  Hamstrings felt really sore.  I think I may need to do some yoga, too.  Anyway, glad the ride's in the books.  Made some homemade waffles for my kiddies.  We're heading outside to get some fresh air before it rains.  

Hope you all enjoy the weekend!!!

NICE!!!!

It was raining out this morning so I feel your pain. I had some seriously dead legs today. It was the last day before my recovery week and the 2.5 hours was mostly torture and I couldn't maintain my normal pacing as hard as I tried. Really it was a mental victory lasting as long as I did.

Overall very happy with the last three weeks. My highest average for one cycle to date. I averaged per week for the three weeks:

Bike: 7.5 hours 135 miles

Run: 3.75 hours 24.6 miles

Swim: 2.25 hours 6700 yards

Hopefully I can have a good recovery week and then my last cycle before my HIM at least maintain that average.

That's awesome, major congrats!

Great job! Any time you get in over two hours on the trainer that's a serious workout.

Thanks!  

I usually don't eat/drink anything special for 2 hour rides (just use a few Nuun tablets in my water bottles), but today I ate a banana around the 90 minute mark.  Definitely felt a little boost from that.  What would you all consume for a 2:15 ride?  I thought I would really start refining race nutrition once my long rides are over 3 hours, so I'm asking for future reference, too.  

I ate a slice of oat bread with grape jelly before my ride, most mornings I do a banana but we were out. I start riding 45 minutes after getting up. During the ride I drink a 24oz bottle of water with Nuun tablets per hour. I also do a gel per hour. On rides 3 hours or longer I'll also often add Infinit or Perpetuem into my water so I don't bonk.

Congratulations!! That is awesome!

So BryanCD is racing IM Utah today.  So far a REALLY impressive race from him:
