Tuesday - Despite all good intentions I did not get in a workout....BUT....there is a valid reason. The season finale of 90210 was on. I mean really who can miss that.......what was Liam thinking? and did Annie really run someone over? Guess we have to wait until next year.
Wednesday - Danger and I hit the pool for an hour of lane swimming. Nothing like a workout with Danger to bring you back down to earth. The man is just flat out fast. Lapped me at least twice in an hour. Now I know how Jimmy feels when he comes with me.
Thursday - Hit the treadmill for a 10K run. Trying to remember all the stuff the Captain sent me on running technique. Man its hard to run when you are trying to think about it. Feeling good so added in another 2K. Make it a 12K run tonight.
Friday - Rest
Saturday - Spent the whole day priming and painting garage doors. Very tired.
Sunday - BIG ride. Picture above is before heading out on the ride. Left the house at 8 am. Headed west on Nash into Bowmanville. Rode on the 4th and 3rd concessions. Under the 35/115 and then south on Morgans Road. Over the 401 and onto Lakeshore Road. Followed that to Port Hope. At the 50K mark we had an average speed of a blazing 29.3Kph. Turned around and headed for home. Followed Lakeshore Road into Newcastle and then caught the 3rd into Bowmanville and Nash home. A combination of tired legs and cycling into the wind on the way home slowed me down a bit. Here are the stats on the ride.
94.48 km in total
Average speed 26.4 kph
Time 3:33
Calories Used 3,960 - 2 days worth!!!!
Average heart rate - 156 bpm - max 176 bpm
The ride for Ironman is 94K so that was good to go that distance for the first time this year. I have to figure out how to run a half marathon after a ride like that.....phew.....that is what the bricks are for.
The legs feel a little tired today. Have to fit in a 10K run tonight AND the Bachlorette and Jon & Kate season premiere. Fire up the PVR.
