Monday Workout
Rest from running today.
50 minutes on the elliptical trainer at Bally's in The Woodlands (level 16, 4.19 miles).
Took it easy, read Sports Illustrated while doing so.
8.2 miles on the real bike (two 4.1-mile running loops) in 37:53.05 or 12.98 mph.
First loop was in 20:08.37 (12.21 mph) and the second was in 17:44.68 (13.86 mph). Why the increase in speed? Well, I think I took it from 6-speed to 12-speed and 18-speed in the last lap ... lol
Two thoughts - well, three actually - crossed through my mind while riding - 1.) I'm not yet ready to make turns at breakneck speed. I figure that I'll let Bill Cox be the blogger that stays most acquainted with fire hydrants in his job as a City of Humble fireman, 2.) As I was doing each loop, I thought to myself ... Kim Hager is going to do 28 of these in a few weeks in Florida and 3.) it actually felt good to get back on the bike for probably the first time since I did a duathlon two years ago (and I would say that 12-13 miles on a bike equals about 20-21 on the stationery bike).
Huntsville Half on Saturday and it looks like Rocky Raccoon 25K will go on the schedule for Saturday, October 28th (as I was told to do nothing more than a 25K in October).
