After a few month hiatus I am back to regularly blogging.
I am currently in Florida (Palm Beach) on my vacation/wedding/honeymoon trip. Mike and I brought down our bikes and packed our car filled with wedding stuffs, training stuffs, and vacation stuffs.
We have been here for three days already, and already I have been able to swim some, run long (8 miles!) and get in a strength ride on the A1A (25 MPH!)
The 8 mile run yesterday was so nice. It felt great and easy and even with the heat and humidity at 7 am I managed a 10:41 minute per mile pace. Some things that I did right were to eat before hand (3 egg whites) and to bring along ice cold water. I went through 2 bottles on the run (standard store bought water bottles).
My shoes are about done though, so today I am heading into Wellington to buy some new Newtons.
We went for a ride on the A1A last night and I did half of my workout because the rain and lightening came faster than we could ride. It was a great 40 minute workout though, kept 19mph on the warm up and recoveries, and 25-26mph on the straight aways when I was going my biggest gear for my 7 minute intervals. That felt great!
I am really embracing my cycling strength. The next few months I need to focus on my nutrition in my long endeavors. I need to find my nutrition plan and then stick to it.
Today is a 2.5 hour ride weather permitting, and then a swim, weather permitting. Oh top news around here? A hurricane is heading its way straight for West Palm Beach with an expected Sunday land fall. Our wedding is on Saturday... and we may be spending our honeymoon in a Hurricane.
