bike hills 1:14:00 [3] 38.38 km (1:56 / km)
We've been trying to get out on the bikes for a 104 km ride for 3 days. Canada Day it was pouring and we should have run, but just did inside chores. We are both lethargic. Saturday, Ironking wanted to do chores first, and you know how that goes.
So here I was, psyched for a long training ride with my coach. I was really tired for the first 21 minutes but then zoomed past him and was having fun. I BROKE THE DE-RAILER shifting up a hill. Ironking tried to fix it twice and then we had to bike back in the large ring but only in the middle. So, I had to coast a lot. Anyhoo, we got in 36+ and I still averaged 23.9 kms/hr even with that. I was happy to have done it.

bike hills (mountain bike on roads) 1:00:00 [3] 21.15 mi (2:50 / mi)
It was such a beautiful day and since the Ironman looms, I realized that I had to get out on the mtn bike if nothing else. I JUST sold my wonderful other racing bike--just when I needed it. Anyhoo, I zoomed up the south mtn and sped down it in 56 kms/hr. What a rush. I remembered how much I love the wind rushing thru my helmet. Biking with nubbies on roads is a good work out. I'm sure it's all good:)
