I forgot how hard this was!

Today was a four hour bike ride. I managed just 52 miles which is too slow for Ironman! I'm going to blame it on my two weight lifting sessions this week, which KICKED my butt! When I started the ride this morning my legs felt like lead blocks and I needed a good two hours to loosen them up. The good news is that I had a 20 minute run immediately following the bike and felt great! No pain anywhere. These types of workouts are called "bricks" and they're meant to condition your legs to go from bike to run on the race. Every training day brings thoughts to mind and today I thought this: I wish pedestrians would refrain from walking in the bike lane--note the name: "BIKE" lane. I almost had two collisions with walkers today :(

Tomorrow is a 1 hour and 40 minute run....yikes!
