This past Saturday we had a long brick workout on the schedule which means we rode 65 miles and then had to run 6 miles. They call them "brick workouts" because when you go from riding a bike for four hours to running your legs feel like bricks. The ride was great and Dana and I did it without stopping until about three miles from the car when she got a flat tire. We took a quick stop to get her tire fixed and finished the ride up. The run was great until the last 2 miles when it all of sudden just got really hot. We frollicked in someone's sprinklers that were on in the front yard. They were probably watching us from inside their house but we didn't care...it was hot!
On Sunday was had a day off from training!!! YEAH!! Instead of totally taking the day off Julie, Dana, Kathleen, Lisa, Bert, Rolf, and I met at the Cook Recreation Area at Percy Warner Park to test out our new wetsuits and do a quick open water swim. The bigger goal of the day was to enjoy a picnic lunch after our swim and to just hang out and relax...it was the best day! I fell asleep at some point when we were lounging around on the grass and got burned on one side of my face...but it was well worth it. It was nice to just sit around and talk....and reflect on how far we've come and what is in store for us in the next three weeks. I am lucky to have such great friends as my training partners as well...couldn't have done this without them!
