group Ride

weights Tuesday AM. Downtown Y. Heavy weights...even free weights down in the basement. No grunting. Ran 1 quick mile warm down.


Tuesday night I met up with the Men of Steel Racing group. Five of us in all. They were shooting for 40 miles - I didn't have that much time, so I broke off with another guy at mile 14 and headed back to my car. These guys like to hit it hard almost everytime. We pushed the pace against the wind for those 14 miles, then I kept my cadence high and took it rather easy on the way back. It's great to be able to put in road miles this early in the year. Last time I did Ironman I wasn't out on my bike yet. Hope the weather holds.


I signed up for a cycling time trial this Saturday. 20km all out, solo. The Indiana State Master's Swimming is this weekend also. Regretfully, I'm not signed up for that - although I'm very tempted to go down to Fishers on Sunday and see if they'll let me swim, sign-up on deck. I do have my US Master Swimming license for this year. I swim unattached, not affiliated with any team. I could probably put in a good 1,000 yard time right now. I'll miss the 400 IM on Saturday...my preferred event.


A little precurser to a goal of mine. When I reach 40 years of age, I think I can set the State record in the 400 IM in the 40-45 age group.


So, this means there will be another blog likely in my future. And it will only be about swimming. How boring is that? No followers on that one...
