Before Kim starts crowing about how much faster than this SHE is, this was a ride with Kathy (one of our Team In Training participants), her longest in years and first one with any kind if hills (St. Francisville). She did fine, no whining at all, even though we did maybe eight mile more than planned. Most of that extra came when we went up into Mississippi so she could tell her friends and husband that she rode into another state.
Was supposed to be a group ride with our New Orleans coach and his participants, but he had a communication snafu and no one got the word. He called after I was halfway there, but I called Kathy and she was so bummed that I met her out there and rode anyway. Beautiful day, nice company, good ride.
ET includes about 5 minutes of circuit weight training, mostly shoulder and upper back, my "Jessi Stensland" routine, just on the remote chance that I will lose said bet. If I gotta pose, I just as soon look good!
Hope Kim's doing some booty tightening work for the same reason.
