Of Mice and Marathons

AM/Lunch: 3 hours 24' on the road bike. 66.3 miles @ 19.5 MPH. 194W. HR 135.

Road to Clarkston and did the Depot Ride solo. Enjoyable ride. Traffic wasn't too bad and probably the right time of week and day to go.

Had a good Father's Day, and it was our 12th anniversary!

AM: 7 miles, averaged 9:16. HR 124.

PM: 4.5 miles, averaged 8:52. HR 129.

AM: 12.1 miles, averaged 7:31. HR 148. 

3x15' Subthreshold

6:45 pace @ 160 BPM, 6:39 pace @ 162 BPM, 6:36 pace @ 161BPM

Solid session, though favorable weather. 

+25' sauna. HR 82.

PM: Off. 

Picked my sister up at the airport as she decided the other day she wanted to come out. Picked up the new bike with the new parts installed. It's amazing. Likely will want to drop the front end just a touch. 

AM: 6.4 miles, averaged 9:31. HR 125.

PM: 4.4 miles, averaged 9:04. HR 124.

Lunch: 7.7 miles, averaged 8:07. HR 144.

20 x 45"/15"

Slept in a bit and got out around lunch time. Katie stayed with the boys, and I got a short quality session in. Started around 6:40 and worked my way down to 6:20, and then around 6-flat and a bit under. Legs were crabby, but I needed more of a warm-up. 

Katie and I took the boys to see Toy Story 5, which was their first movie in the theater. Price for seats wasn't bad and the sound and picture were much better than I remember and the seats fully reclined. I don't think I have been to the theater since I lived in Indiana. I certainly haven't been since the boys were born and I don't think since we have lived in Michigan or when we lived in Philadelphia. It was a memorable experience for sure.

PM: 62' ride on the new bike to test things. 183W. HR 125. 

Bike feels great. I got it back out of the shop on Tuesday after picking my sister up.

AM/Lunch: 3 hours 40'. 64.3 miles @ 17.5 MPH. 204W. HR 129.

3 x 16' Lifts + 20'

251/284, 258/302, 260/286, 266

HR in the mid- to upper 140s average. Decided to get a decent ride in as the boys were at camp and I wanted to get a proper ride in on the new bike.

We went to the local Jubilee, which was basically a small fair. We took the boys on some rides. They did well. I skipped the Ferris wheel, but Megan went on with them. Another highly memorable day.

PM: 3 hours 26'. 58.1 miles @ 16.9 MPH. 192W. HR 128.

Solid endurance ride. Roads were in solid shape. I waxed my chain and it required 0 break-in time. The drivetrain is super nice. Went down the Oakland County section of the Polly Ann and then did a big loop through Dryden and Metamora. Dropped my sister off at the airport in the morning.
