Thursday's ride went well for me. We worked as a group on the way out then it's every man for himself on Reinmiller and I was able to keep up the pace and felt really good. I felt so good in fact I was able to be convinced to eat at Casa Montez with the Lowden's post-ride in all my sweaty, spandexy glory! :-O
Friday, I had a good run with Brooke. Looking back now I can't remember for sure how far I went - thinking it was a 5 miler, but I need to verify. Friday night was wine tasting and Saturday was a semi day off. We did do some climbing, but since I can only do it for 15 or 20 minutes before my arms feel like falling off I can't really count that yet.
Sunday I wanted to get a long run in, but I was tired and slept in a bit. I still got in 9 (4 with Brooke - yeah!!), but was hoping for 12. I think the 70 mile ride we did directly following the run made up for it!!! Just found out that we went a little slow on the way out (27.16 miles @ 13.7 mph). But, on the way back we kicked it up (43.03 miles @ 21.05mph). Total of 70.2 miles @ average of 17.43mph. Pretty sweet. The increase was because we had a slower rider on the way out and we are a no person left behind kind of groupy. ;-)
Also, the bomb-diggity food we had at Cookie's in Golden City (that was the 27.16 mile mark). However, note to self - coconut cream pie and upper 90 temps while riding do not sit well on the belly!
