This morning I had a great morning bike ride. This was my longest distance yet. I rode 42 miles with an average of 3:50/mile. It was very "hilly" going out and coming back was obviously a lot easier (more downhills). I can tell a huge difference in using my bike shoes, it's a different motion/set of muscles especially going uphill. I was used to having stirrups, now I'm locked in. I'm still trying to figure out the right nutrition/hydration while riding longer rides. I've got a great coach now who will be teaching me those particular things. Overall, I feel great after this ride. I'm going to take it easy this weekend as I will be participating/competing in my first triathlon on Monday morning in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This is a "mini" triathlon...more to come on Monday afternoon.
