I love your avatar! You on the new bike I'm assuming?? You look like you are having a terrific time.

Stunning! Feminine, yet strong-looking too! Nice..nice ride!

My husband did the Disney half! He came in 67th. His big brag is that he came in ahead of "some" of the elite women. I told him if he hadn't had to stop at the portable potties (rare for him), he would have beat at least one or two more. Ha ha! His bib number was actually 57, so he was in the first corral, but when they made the announcement for all the elite runners to come to the front, and then clarified that meant 60 and under ... he just stood there feeling funny and decided to stay right where he was (with a friend).

Are your ITB's feeling better today? My thighs are killing me from yesterday. My friend and I attempted to do an 18 mile training ride with a good amount of climbing today, but both decided that it was just SO not necessary after we were out and our legs were burning! Ouchie! It would have been counter productive, so we turned it into a nice recovery ride. (We were trying to make up for the fact that we lost a training day on Sunday due to my friend's crash.)

67th!! Wow! BF came in at 406. Me? 6615. Hahahaha. Your DH is quite the athlete!

My ITB is feeling much better. I took today off from working out, and my legs feel so much better as well (my quads were super duper tight). Recovery rides are good, but be sure to taper before your ride on Saturday.

We should all go out for a ride one day!

Yes, we are tapering. No riding today. Tomorrow we may do an easy ride of some sort, and probably just a short spinning ride for me on Friday. I think I do better on a long ride if I at least spin my legs the day before for at least 30 minutes.

I have done a couple of half marathons, by the way. I was a "walk/runner". I did San Francisco at about 2:55 or so and Long Beach slightly faster. That was before I "retired" from running and dove into cycling, never to return! I love cycling. Hated running.

Yes, we should ride together sometime.
