The Unknown

It's been fun and a bit intimidating to find new training routes, especially on the bike. I don't mind riding loops upon loops in the city during the week, but wanted to find something different for my long ride. This morning, I ventured about 30 miles from home to attempt at least 3 hours on the bike. I haven't been on my tri bike much this season and wanted to work on my comfort in aero before next weekend.

I read the 7 mile loop was a great mix of false flats, flat and climbing with some screaming descents. It did not disappoint. I can't decide which direction was tougher, and I got in 44 miles before I decided to call it a day, due to the heat and my lack of preparation with nutrition (really need to snap out of this bad habit!)


While I feel like I finished up strong, my legs did not decide to join the ride until the 2nd half. I have been putting a lot of hours (for me) in the past few weeks, so this week a little bit of rest is on tap to be sure my legs show up on time next weekend!
