Whew! It was a good week. I had 17 hours scheduled plus it was my work week with the added bonus of a third work day plus it was my birthday! I only missed out on a swim, even with all of that going on, so I think it was a very successful week.
For my long ride I went to Glen Rose and did the Paluxy Pedal. It was advertised as an 80 mile ride and I needed 4:30, so that was going to be just about right. The course ended up being only 71 miles but, man! that was the hardest 71 miles I have ever ridden. I have ridden out in that area before and have been up "the wall" but I had not ridden the entire 71 miles of CONSTANT hills! It was so beautiful out there, but it really wore out my legs. I was worried about being able to run after, but I ended up having my best brick yet! We finished the ride in 4 hours and were able to run for an hour at a 9 minute pace, so that was a huge success for me.
I had my long run the next day and was able to put in a solid 16 miles at an 8:40. Things are going well.
This week will be my longest week so far with 18.5 hours scheduled, a little bit lighter next week, then a huge 20 hour week the following week and after that it is all down hill. I can't believe it is getting that close, but I feel very encouraged and can't wait for the challenge! Bring it on!
