Eight at Eight Around the Lake

The weather throughout the weekend indicated that there would be an 80% chance of rain the t-storms today. At 6:15am this morning, the final text message went out and the decision was made that we'd ride and RIDE we did. Eight ladies headed out around Lake Murray for a steady 60-mile training ride (okay, 59.1 miles).

It was cool to begin with but turned into a rather warm, humid morning as we made it to the traffic circle. My goal for today was not to draft. I spent a great deal of the way solo in between what became two groups of us. I felt strong for the most part and enjoyed the route. We had a new rider, a very good sprint triathlete, and some oldies but goodies.

This week begins Week 27 of the IMAZ training plan. It's starting to sink in that we have 189 days left before the big day. The little extra planning is taking place and we're starting to plan ahead. I am very excited about the months ahead and what's in store. I am so very happy to be on this adventure with such an awesome group! Pedal forward.
