Today's Workout: Done

Up at 4:45 Am and off to Prince William County at 5:45 AM. On tap today, a 3 hour ride and a 30 minute run.

KR wanted to ride 56 miles today (half of the Ironman distance) which we thought would take us about 3.5 hours given all of the hills. The hills were a killer and KR made me work on my downhill. I hit some frightening speeds but she is such a great downhiller I was trying to check my fear and open my body and mind to learning.

After our 3 hour and 40 minute ride we went out for a 30 minute run. We had intended to run 4 miles but I had to turn around after 15 minutes. My foot was bothering me and my calves were cramping. I did bag my 30 minutes but not much over that.

Tomorrow, I am resting and happy to do so.
