Did an early 30 mile ride, contemplating taking the baby for a run in the jogging stroller in a little while for an easy 4 or 5...we'll see.

A lovely ride - 74km 3hrs 30 mins (slow, I know) - had only intended to do 45km but I was feeling at one with the bike until I hit an extremely viscious head wind at about the 32km (from home) mark. I persisted for another 8km before turning around (decided it was the perfect opportunity to 'test' myself). Lessons learned from this ride - remember to take some form of food/nutrition with me - in case, and replacement sunglasses must be purchased asap (bug vs contact lens, not so grand).

20 mile ride done this morning

'morning all....

It was a beautiful morning for a 21 mile ride. I'll hit the pool for some laps late in the afternoon.

Enjoy your day......

I did a long run yesterday and my body is pretty broken down. So today I'm going to do a slow/easy 45 mile ride w/3500 feet of climbing with my wife to Vail Pass, which will be the hardest ride she's ever done.

The ride will be in the midst of lots of "Courage Classic" riders ( http://www.couragetours.com/site/pp.asp?c=qjJVJ1MNIuE&b=4863925) that will be crowding our bike paths today and tomorrow. It's a good cause and they are welcome to "invade" my routes as they put it.

Then I'll take my dog for a walk around Breckenridge among the tourists and lastly do an evening swim. Should be a fun and interesting day.

Like I told my bf this morning when he asked me what my plans were:

swim-bike-run-clean

But don't they when I do what figured out yet--so far I've just had my morning coffee. But training will get done.

Does anybody make time to clean house anymore?

Rest and hydration, my 1st tri is tomorrow. picked up race package at noon then went to work.
My boss let me come in a couple hours early so I could leave early and get some sleep tonight. He also gave me an extremely light work load for today and tomorrow. gotta love a supportive boss.

80 mile ride with hour in upper zone 4/bottom zone 5 rest at zone 2.

So much fun....riding rocks!

Rest day for me. Got an OLY tomorrow.

8.5 mile run this morning.

Just finished a 75 mile ride

13 mile run.  Finished a little slow, not sure why.  Pace seemed right on.

51 mile ride in the morning.  Felt pretty good until the final 5 miles...

35 mile ride this afternoon
