 
We had a great training ride this weekend. (Andrea was still out from the wreck in Puerto Rico, but she's on the mend physically and rarin' to go. I'm sure our Torito will be charging up the hills again really soon). The ride -- from Capitol Hill to Poolesville and back -- was in a word a total hammerfest. Factors? Well, Patrick seems to have increased his strength exponentially down in Puerto Rico, and Eric was off the powermeter on his (sweet) loaner bike. Weather was cool but not cold. Other than that I guess we were all just feeling pretty good. I was happy to be in such fast company, pushing each other and just generally eating up the miles. We all had a 2 mile brick run after the ride scheduled, which felt to me like running on a pair of leaden legs, but that sort of cross training really helps aerobic conditioning and prepping for triathlons (don't forget that we're all signed up for multiple long triathlons this year, some sooner than others). The lead legs seemed to evaporate for me the next morning as I P.R.ed at a DCTriclub 10K. Eric was movin pretty fast too. The moral of this story? We seem to be getting stronger and fitter--and quicker than I would have thought. Sunday: xtreme4 photoshoot. Details on that to follow.

Good job!
by: Andrea - 02/06/2008 06:34 PM I wish I would have been there with you guys. Sounds like you guys had a great training day. I heard you all were very strong out there. Sean Ward was nice enough to lend me his bike but it was a little too big and it did not fit me. :-( Looking forward to our 3h indoor ride next Saturday! |
