Made up for lost time today. I made sure I did the bike today that was supposed to be yesterday so that I could test that new aero bottle outside. I loved it! I kept hydrated so much better, and it stayed stable on the bike. I also like where we moved everything. In a tiny space I have shortie aero bars, an aero water bottle, a computer, and my HRM on the stem for non-races. What a cockpit! Everthing fits just right.
Decided to squeeze my run in today as well. I waited for David to get back from his ride and quick brick before I could get out for my run. I thought I had enough time on the radar to get it in before the rain hit, but I was wrong. 11 minutes in, it hit. Heavy rain!
Reasons I like running in the rain:
-Keeps you cool
-I seem to run faster
-Hardly notice it hit if you wear a hat
-Sound of rushing water at Russell Creek (never knew it had much water!)
-The rain drowns out the sound of the HR monitor alarm!!
-No other crazies out there to bother you!
Reasons I hate running in the rain:
-Clothes are heavy when soaked with rain
-Shoes go squish with every step
-The runoff means every block has huge puddles to jump over
-Sidewalks and trails are full of water at some points
-No one else out there to watch out for you
Avg cadence 80; stride 2ft 11in
