Bike
  • 1h 55m 21s
  • 29.19 miles
  • 15.18 Mi/hr

ride steady for 2 hours on a course that is similar to the race course.

his should be an effort level of 4-5. Nothing too easy and nothing too hard. You should feel a little burn in your legs. But you shouldn’t be pushing it at an effort of 8-9. More like 5-7.

couldn't do the tri route this week, but should be able to do it next weekend.

Wasn't really into it mentally, but the body took over and did a nice, solid ride, definitely in the 5-7 range.

ran at the park while my daughter danced. unfortunately, left the Garmin at home, so I downloaded the MapMyRun app and used that. can't yet figure out if/how to export the gpx

was wearing too much clothes to start and ended up undressing while I ran ;) The extra hills definitely let me know I worked it today, but the hips feel good.
