A good weekend

2 workouts this weekend. On Saturday, I rode for an hour and followed it up with a 10minute transition run. The ride was hilly at the beginning and the end with some good flat riding along the Bay in the middle. See the downhill before the flat? That was a nice 8% grade. I thought I was going to fly over my handlebars and DIE.



There was a killer headwind though so even though I think I was exerting the power if at least 20-22 mph, my bike computer said I was going 16-17 mph. After the long gradual uphill finish to our house, I immediately went into the run, which is probably the most painful and beneficial exercise in my training. It took me 7 minutes of fighting with my body before I felt like I had an efficient stride going. Tough, quality workout.

On Sunday, Kyle, my cousin Joe and I did a 45 minute run down by the Bay. We pushed it to 8 min mile pace for the middle 20 minutes. Felt great to run in a group and push each other to do more than just a casual jog.

This week I'm going to focus on consistency and try to get 5 workouts in Mon-Fri again.
