March 1st marked the 'official' start of my IMKY training and I just got back from my first bike ride of the season.  I biked 56 miles and it took me 3:36:55 and I averaged 15.73 mph.  I felt pretty good but was getting tired near the end of the ride.  Fortunately the wind was at my back on the ride back in.
While I know this is just the start of my training, I can't help but do the math and, neglecting any degradation in performance due to fatigue and I could maintain this pace, this would be 7:14 for the 112 miles.  Right now I can't even imagine turning around and doing another 56 miles....and oh yeah, then running a marathon.

Way to go big on the first ride of the season!  We still have some slick spots, but they should all be gone by the end of next week.  Woot!

Wow, you've had quite the week!  HIM swim distance one day and HIM bike distance another in just the first 10 days of your IM build.  That's something!!!
