Despite the soreness in my quads, I pulled myself out of bed this morning and forced myself to do a 5 mile recovery run....which ended up being nott too bad...I finished in 46:19.
I also realized today that I'm not scared of riding my bike anymore - haha! Ben wanted to do a loop of the Ironman course after work, and I thought, "50 or 60 miles? No problem!" Not only that, but there's some killer hills on that route, my quads are still tender from speedwork, I am still getting the cluster headaches, and Ben and Ryan are about twice as fast as me...but, "No problem!" I did most of the ride with a headache, but the boys were nice enough to stay with me, especially after it got dark. It was a great ride! We did 56.7 miles in 3:32:51, even though we took the last 4 miles super slow because it was pitch black outside. :D |
