since Powerman Florida is going to be relatively hilly i have been trying to get some bikes rides done in the hills of Clermont and surrounding areas. Today was a 40 and 4 brick so I went to Minneola with some of the Miamiman athletes.
I tried to get most of the good hills in to my workout - Cherry Lake, 19, Buck Hill, Grassy Lake and Hospital Hill - and ended up doing about 45 miles and at pretty good pace. I felt pretty strong on the bike and stayed aero as much as I could.
For the run - i left the lake and headed for the trail making sure to take the little neighborhood loop that adds a little climb. I ended up doing 5 miles because I was feeling pretty good. I ran at a very comfortable pace of 7:20 miles for the entire 5 miles.
Overall the workout was good and I felt great. It was a little hot out there but since my race is in early October it has a chance to be just as hot then too.
After the workout - went for a buffalo chicken sammy at Benchwarmers. Normally I would chose the Tiki Bar but we started the workout late and it was about 12:00p when we got done - we figured the wait would be too long. Benchwarmers was good - it was pretty empty so we were able to sit outside (not to offend anyone with our smell) and the food was good.
Looking forward to my next warm up race - Moss Park in August - to see if my biking is getting any stronger.
Happy training - stay hydrated.
