40 min's on the elliptical this morning. Legs seem to be feeling pretty good. That left knee still has the same ache but not as sharp as yesterday. Think I'll pass on real running today as well. 

40.7 mile ride on the bike. I'm calling it my horse and naming him LeRoy. So old LeRoy and I went out this afternoon on the airport/ sunriver loop then extended around the fields instead of coming home on River Road. The wind was gusty but my legs were on fire tonight. Just pounded the ride. Had a 22.2 mph avg through 31 until I had to start really dealing with traffic. Still ended at 21.84 and bested my previous fastest ride ever of 21.79 mph avg. With the wind tonight that was pretty solid. And I felt good. Maybe I should do a 34 mile run a few days before IM to "light up the darkness" in these old legs and get LeRoy really rollin?

Wow.. Really got moving on that one. Awesome workout! You ride a road or tri bike?

Matt sorry I check my email on my phone all the time and forget to get on and reply. Anyways I have a tri bike. It's an older model Kestrel Airfoil pro. Works pretty good for me.

I'm just as bad at getting back to these. It seems like everyone's trying to convince me to not go with a tri bike for reasons I'm sure you've heard. Interesting to see that you're on one..

Well I got one because my neighbor sold it to me at a very good price. If I was just gonna go buy a new bike now I'd most likely buy a road bike for the dual usage. Unless I turned into this "tri" stud and then I'd just get a new sweet Shiv.
