25mi bike ride on the Hawthorne Trail to test out new bike seat and make final adjustments to my Tri bike before my race this weekend (Florida Challenge 1/2 Ironman distance). This is just a practice race thats on the same course as my full on October 23, so I definitely want to be comfortable on my bike. I still anticipate doing okay even though the heat index will be about 100 when I get to the run. I had similar conditions in my 1/2 ironman at the end of May in Georgia and I died on the run and had to walk about 1/3 of it. I feel better prepared now, especially in the running. |
