Biked for 105mi during a recreational bike ride in Clermont. Course was 112mi but took a wrong turn and didn't feel like circling the lake to get in extra distance at the end. The course was less hilly than previous year since they changed the course quite a bit. There was a couple of steep hills though, including Sugarloaf which is very steep. I go about 5mph up that hill.
Wore my Zensah gear, calf compression sleeves and compression tights under my bike shorts. For 1st time, no chafing caused by seam on padding in bike shorts. I actually felt comfortable sitting on my bike seat for about 6hr 40min. Again, no soreness. I got off my bike, put on my running shoes and ran for 20min no problem. I felt like I could keep going, but it was unnecessary since my training schedule only called for a 20min run.
I put on some compression socks after taking a shower and drank a heed recovery drink. Not much taste in heed drinks, which is good if you are tired of drinking sugary drinks like gatorade but bad if you want a tasty shake that tastes like a strawberry or chocolate milkshake (like musclemilk). Legs feel unusally good for working out 20hrs last week. My endurance is finally picking up again and I feel very good about the upcoming ironman distance race on Oct 23. I even feel good about signing up for a 50mi beach run in Destin on Feb 19, but will hold off until I get a long beach run in. |
