Great Run / Hard Bike Ride

Yesterday I felt really good about my run.  This was much faster than I used to go 6 months ago.  I normally averaged 10 minute miles on a good day!  Yesterday, I went 11.47 Miles in 1 Hour and 44 minutes.  That's a 9:05/mile average.  On a side note I burned 1268 calories.

Today's long bike ride was hard!  I felt great starting out (it ended up being down hill most of the way). I felt like I was averaging 22-23 mph., I was moving!  By the way, this was a brand new route, I just looked it up on mapquest to get a new route and I never checked the elevation.  I rode hard for 2 hours and 15 minutes and then turned around.  The ride was pretty much up and down in the middle of the route.  I knew what was coming...that nice fast pace ride, I had to ride back UP that route to get home.  Talk about a workout!  I made it, but it was tough.

Today's ride was 4 hours and 37 minutes long.
15.5 Average MPH (that was due to the big hills...slow)
34.5 MPH Max
1969 Calories burned
HR Average 119; HR Max 148
67 RPM Average; 112 RPM Max

I'm still feeling good about my training but still have a ways to go before the big IRONMAN in Arizona.

Just 5 weeks until Florida 70.3!
