Craig, Heath, and I rode the entire IM bike course (111 miles). We took it easy and just had fun with it. I cruised in fast the last downhill section of our second loop. I worked on a different nutrition plan. I only used the protein products for the first 50 miles and then only relied on sports drinks, gu, and chomps for the rest of the ride. I did surprisingly well. No tired legs and our run was easy. Today was my first time using the aero position... I flew coming down hwy 18!!! Natalie joined us for the second loop!! We all ran after... us boys ran a 5k (8:48 pace) and Natalie did 4 miles. Legs felt good... strong!!! Ran with no problems!! :)

Man, I need to get my bike fixed so I can do a century ride!

Lets go!! I plan to ride from St George to Mesa. I was all planned out last year but other things got in the way.

Um, that's a little more than a century ride so I'll just meet you in Tempe and ride to Mesa with you.

My route will bring me in through payson. Meet me there and we can ride those killer hills coming down into mesa!!

Well, I kind of like my idea better because I would only need to ride across the street.

Payson would be a tough one though. It's mostly downhill, but there are some TOUGH uphills.
