The biking is always an estimate since I lost my sensor last year in a race.  That's ok, I know that I'm throwing down faster than this outdoors.  So if anything I'm underestimating the distance and speed.

Oh, I'm also now down to 184.5.  I've lost 12.5 Lbs since January 16.  And with the upping of workouts, I can see it will continue to go down.  Hopefully I can reach that 175 mark.

180' ride on a flat to rolling course. Keep HR in Zone 1-2.

Went a LOT longer than I originally planned.  Went out with the boys and got so far out with them I figured it would be easier to just go with them than try to go home on my own.  Averaged Zone 1.7 and maxed out in Zone 3.4.  I was hurting, though, on the way home.  Still, a good ride.  And it put me well over 100 miles for the week.  First 100 mile week of the year and won't be the last.

Ugh.  Just could not wake up this morning.  So tired.  Would have been the 3rd two-a-day in a row.  Don't remember the last time I did that many, if ever (not counting football in HS).  Body needed the extra hour of sleep.  Oh well, a missed 4.5 mile run won't kill me too much in July.  ;)

 

Later in the day:  Ummmmm.... sooo...... yeah.  Ride cut short because of some severe weather hitting.  I was actually close to my turnaround.  15 minutes away, when I look up and this wicked squall line is coming in.  And just as I'm getting ready to turn around, a quick flash of lightening hits.  Knocked off 5 minutes from how long it took me to get to this point getting home.  I laid down the hammer. Glad I did.  It got nasty.

The ride this morning was absolutely awesome.  Dark when I left and still dark when I returned.  Not a cloud in the sky so I was able to see the stars.  Just a very slight breeze.  What a great recovery ride.  Not just physically restorative but also mentally.
