Today’s 30 mile ride was just fantastic! We did have some pretty
good headwinds, but kept up a good pace anyway. We rode out 15 miles, then came
back so that gave us some nice tailwinds on the way back! Today’s route took us
up Pleasant Valley Road hill. It was a perfect hill! Just the right distance
and slope to give us a good workout, but not make us feel like keeling over.
Of course, then we had to attempt to run after the ride.
Coach Jill took us out on a dirt trail and my legs just would not function!
Something about how your muscles work on the bike really creates havoc on the
muscles required for running. I stumbled along for the short 1.5 miles and my
legs never did want to cooperate. That’s something that is going to take some
practice.
Unfortunately, Dan had to work and missed the ride today. I'm sure he will find a way to make it up though. He's a rock star!
Next week is a 30 mile ride again followed by a 3 mile run.
Here's to hoping the legs will start to get the hang of this transition thing!
