That's how far I rode yesterday! I almost can't believe it, but I got it done. That's the farthest I've ridden a bike in almost 10 years. I'd also be lying if I didn't say that the last 60-90 minutes of the 6 hour ride didn't just about kick my @$$. I'm supposed to ride further than that and then get off and run a marathon? I'm begining to think I've lost my fricking mind.
Despite the pain at the end it was a good ride and once I'd gotten off I felt better than I did while on the bike. I averaged over 17 mph for the first 3 hours and then about 15.5 mph after I stopped and refilled my water bottles.
Overall it was a good week with a couple of good swims, a good 3hr 15 min run (17 miles). I'm comfortable with where I'm at and where I'm supposed to be. I'm cruising for a 14-14.5 race so I'm still on track.
Here is what I was supposed to do with what I actually did.
