Sunday morning ride

Great ride yesterday morning with the most beautiful Florida morning blue skis. I loved it, even more because I was able to keep up with these incredibly strong women, well at least the first 20 miles :) I need more practice riding with the wind on my face, but the weird thing was that it feels Windy when we were riding but none of tree were moving, humm. I also love my new bike shoes, huge different on my riding.

Bike Thursday

For years, Suzanne and her "groupies" have been doing the "Thursday morning bike ride" EVERY Thursday.  I started with them back in 2001, but they had been riding way before I started.  So, today, as usual we rode south on A1A.  We are incorporating this ride into our IM training, and today it was only Patti, Suzanne, and I.  Ana is probably riding as I am typing this.

It was cold at 6:30 this morning at a chilly 45 degrees!  But we layered and got through it pretty easily actually.  We rode 26 miles and averaged about 19-20mph heading south and about 16-17 heading north - a little bit of a headwind coming back!

Day 2 of our training...Sunday was too cold to ride....except I did show up...didn't read my e-mail...so I walked 4 miles with my dog (Lola).

Today we ran for 30 minutes...not too bad....just getting it into our heads we are really doing this baby....Patti

What did we get ourselves into ??

We actually did it... we signed up for a full Ironman race. I guess it's about time...

Since both Patti and I were out of town until this week, our first training day didn't officially start until Friday, January 21st. We started the day with Suzanne's 6AM spin class and 7AM stretch class. Then we met up at noon at Gleason Park for our first pool swim of the season. I had not been in the pool since the Amelia Island Race back in October, so it was slow and easy for me! Immediately afterwards we did a 30 minute run... not too bad for our first day!
