November 3

Run
  • 39m 10s
  • 4.05 miles
  • 09m 40s /Mi

Niece easy run with 30 sec strides every 5 minute. Legs are feeling really good and snappy. The strides felt great...turning over really well. I love the feeling of easy speed.

50 minutes: 10 rpe3, 10 rpe5, 10 rpe7, 10 rpe5, 10 rpe3. Averaged 21.2 for the middle 30 minutes. Pretty good, esp considering this route has a hairpin turn every 1.5 miles. Lots of accelerations.

Welcome to taper. Sweet, seet, decadent taper. Man was it nice to get an extra hour of sleep this morning. Going to swim at lunch today, then trick0or0treating tonight with Nola and Amy, Nola's boyfriend Brandon, his brother Justin and Katie and Andy.

Dogs. Didn't mention the dogs in my ride report from Saturday. I was molested by not one but 4 dogs, all of them labs. What's up with that. And they were all stealthy, too, never barked once until they were within 10 yards of me. The first ran beside me for a good 100 yards and even nipped at my heel. Ten miles later, three big black labs ran out of their yard, straight at me. I swerved left thinking I was going to have to dump it in the ditch, but at the last second they backed off.

Nothing like a little adrenaline injuection to help get through a long ride.

Good ride! Cold...38 at the start, 50s at the end. Rode strongly the whole way and had a good, strong but easy transition run afterwards. No rest stops on the bike. Since it was cold, didn't need any more fluids than I started with. One gel every 30 minutes on the bike.
