Did the 10K race yesterday. It went well and was fun, but man was it hot - about 80 degrees, humid and no wind whatsoever. It's too early in the year for that - nobody was used to it. People were walking more than usual and the leaders looked like they were struggling when they passed as they were heading back.
The first half of the run felt pretty good. Although it was warm, there was a fair amount of shade and at the time splits I was ahead of my goal pace. The second half, though, I had to walk several times because of the heat. There were plenty of water stations and they were busy. I usually don't drink a whole cup at the water breaks but I did this time except for the little bit I splashed on my face. Managed to finish almost two minutes better than last year - and just 15 seconds short of my goal. I didn't expect that with all the walking, but it sure felt good - especially against the heat.
DH, son and I went for a short 10-mile bike ride this morning to ride our big training hill and do some sprints. Will do some more running and riding this week - maybe the annual 50-mile ride next weekend, if we're ready.

another 1h run (8.5k) yesterday which brings me up to 2.5 hours for this week.
That stupid cold still hasn't broken out for real except for making me feel miserably tired.
I had plans of either a short ride today or a swim but when I came home from a sunday of singing, I dropped to bed. I would have either fallen asleep on my bike or in the pool (with more likelihood to be saved in the pool as there are lifeguards)Last edited by alpinerabbit; 05-13-2007 at 10:47 AM.
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

Brick day!
BIKE:
1h 21m 44s
23.67 miles
17.38 miles/hr
Went and rode around the lake. Did my best to sprint 10 miles of that. 5 slow/5 sprint/5 slow/5 sprint/3 slow.
My legs were TIRED today. Oh, and my butt hurts so bad from yesterday! OUCH! (I did a 65 mile/100K ride yesterday, for the second time this season.)
After the ride went to run.
RUN:
33m 30s
3.00 miles
11m 10s /mile
This time my goal was to pace myself and NOT get a side cramp. Done.
I ran the entire way."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"
