3-Peat

Bike-run, bike-run, bike-run. Triple brick workout was on the agenda for today's training. We'd decided that we would start from the house as opposed to going out to Lexington High School as we'd originally planned to do. After 4.5 hours of non-stop movement, we finished this triple brick. First brick was a 17-mile bike to Ballentine followed by a 30 min run. This was relatively uneventful as my legs were trying to wake up from yesterday's ride.

The second brick we opted to ride the hills on Lake Murray Blvd. It became apparent rather quickly that the purpose of this workout was not only to finish to completion but it was going to be a mental test and a physical test. On the return trip on the bike, Midge decided to give me some of her water while we were stopped. Somehow this became Midge on the ground, clipped in under her bike, and the water flowing down the pavement. It wasn't a pretty dismount. She always falls while stopped. We finished the triple brick by pedaling for 45 minutes on the indoor trainer followed by another 30 minute run.

This was a super workout for endurance - mentally and physically. Tomorrow, we are OFF! :)
