Thursday I rode home from work - 18 mile trip. Nice tail wind, on my Felt, very quick trip home. I did have to push off the side of a car that squeezed me into the curb a little too tight. That was kind of exciting.
I rode to work Friday morning. There was a strong headwind, but it was beautiful. I watched the sun rise to my right and huge gray pending rain clouds to my left as I pedaled through the fields.
Saturday I got up and rode a group ride - 40 miles. 8 guys, slower than normal pace, a true training ride. When I got home I ran 8 miles. Held a few 7:30's for a few miles in the middle.
Today, Sunday, I should swim. It would be a nice day to ride or run though. Week 16 was pretty good. The only element of the scheduled plan I skipped was a Cooper swim test....a 12 minute timed swim where you count the laps and record for benchmarking your progress. I don't need that data for swimming. I plan to run more over the next three months, and continuing to build my cycling base. Swimming will fall to third priority.
21 weeks left to train.
