A spring in your step! Running 3/22 and on

[7rider]

Looks like you would have been better off running around the edge of the baseball fields, instead.

Actually, the more I thought about it while I was running, the more I wondered if the Athletic Director said "baseball" field, vs. "football" field, and I just coudn't recall!

My long ride today was 42 miles. I felt good, until the last 4 miles when things started to hurt.

I got in 36 myself. We should connect next time you do a long ride on Sunday.

I never feel ready before a race. You should think of your first as a learning experience. You gotta do it so that you'll be that much more ready for the one's you really care about.

This will be my "learning" race. I'm actually glad I'm doing this one solo, without a posse or team. Those run-bike-run workouts will be helpful for learning about transitions, but the second one I can do is just 3 days before my race, so I'll likely be taking it easy this Wednesday.
