Training weekend

this weekend was a good weekend for training - perfect weather (maybe a tad windy) and solid mileage.

Saturday started with a 8 mile run at a very comfortable 7:30 pace - Sean and ran with Dan to help him through his 18 mile run. We ran miles 7-14 with him. The run felt great - my HR is finally catching up with my legs. The runs are getting easier.

Sunday was a 35 mile bike with 2 x 5/75 mile TT mixed in. The TT were on Wilson Lake Rd which is a nice new paved road with rollers along the way. The greatest obstacle was the wind - head one way, tail the other.

The TTs went great - maybe reaching a 9 on the "i want to throw up" meter but they were good and fast. we averaged about 25-26 mph for the TTs. After the ride was a 4 mile run with 2 at 10k pace and 2 cruising. The first two miles went by in 6:11 pace then we backed it down to about 7:40 pace to cruise in the last two miles.

All in all a good hard weekend of training - the speed is coming around - just have to keep working on my HR and my bike legs!

5 weeks to Nationals and need some improvement to do well there.

Good job out there in the wind! I've never ridden on Wilson Lake Rd. Newly paved sounds good.
