This weekend I went on the ride from hell. I haven't being doing many longer rides since the Vineman. My wife and son went to a birthday part Saturday which gave me a chance to go on a 3 hour ride. I decided to ride from my house to Oceanside and back. It is one of my favorite rides because most of it has a great ocean view and being right on the coast it is never that hot. I made good time down to Oceanside the way back was a whole different story. I will download the info from my Garmin tomorrow but I think I did the first 28 miles in 1hr 23min the way back was directly into the wind and I think it took 2hours to get back. FYI-the last 4 miles is all uphill as well. I was seriously grinding to go 15-16mph on the way back. I thought of how miserable it must be for guys in Kona on windy days.
Sunday I didn't do anything.This morning I ran for 45 mins on the treadmill. I also did a bit of lifting i want to get my legs and core stronger. I hope to eventually look like I do triathlons. I want to start to run outside more but I hate running in the dark. I also washed my Ipod and it went to Ipod heaven, so if you want to know what boring is run on the treadmill with no music and you will find out. I am going to try and swim tonight.
