Despite cycling for 66-miles yesterday, we decided to stick to the agenda outlined on our schedule for a brick workout this Sunday morning. We met our good friend out at Dutch Fork Middle School and went for a quick ride. We biked approximately 2 hours - most likely a little less - but we only had a 1.5-2.o hour bike on our training plan. At the beginning of the bike ride, it was quite apparent for multiple reasons that we'd in fact biked hard yesterday for 66-miles. Without going into details, I can tell you that the new cycling shorts I wore yesterday made a lasting impression and was felt on the ride today. I spent quite a bit of the ride shifting and pedaling while standing since comfort was obviously not on the agenda today. The legs were also a bit flaccid. Anyway, I pedaled hard and made it through it. We also had an opportunity to sport our new Harrell's jersey which we'll be sporting for Ironman. Needless to say, I WILL NOT be sporting the new Pearl Izumi shorts from yesterday's ride. Overall, it was a really good, quick, powerful ride. Exactly what we needed before our run.
After cycling, we made a quick transition and headed out on the run. The transition time was relatively quick for everything that had to be done in a non-T1/T2 transition area and we took off for the 6-mile run. It was a very smooth transition. Very consistent run despite the hills through the neighborhood that we ran through. It was our best brick workout this season especially since neither of us REALLY wanted to do it after the ride. We sure wanted a nap instead...nevertheless, success!
