Today we rode 50 miles in what seemed to be a gale force wind. We went out towards the airport first. On the stretch to the end of the airport loop we were into the wind. A few of the team went strong and hammered into the wind. They were definitely outside of zone 2. I hung back and let them go. When we stopped a prearranged point, I rode up to them and told them that the CL was not going to be happy. I moved away from the group when CL showed up. I did not want to get any shrapnel (sp?) when she exploded on them. And she did.
We stayed together from there on out except for when PD got a flat. CL hung with him and we met at a prearranged rest stop. The rest of the ride was uneventful. There was the usual bantering back and forth.
CL pushed herself to hard. She such a good coach, but like most coaches thinks she cannot show any weakness. I told she needs to do her workouts and I was going to keep her honest. Her job is to keep me honest.
Distance: 51miles
Time: 3 hours 16 minutes
HR I have no idea the damn monitor stopped working
Calories: Garmin says 1500 but the internet says 3000
We also ran 2 miles off the bike. It was hard. It was hot. I took about 20 minutes to do that. It was a zone 2 run.
Train Hard, Train Smart
