I know I said it last week, but yesterday was my best day on the bike. I wasn't exactly sure of what to expect this week because I had ran more during the week, and my legs felt a little tired when I woke up, but Jenni and I set out on our ride with lots of inclines (I can't really call them hills, but definitely not flat roads), some rolling hills and 3 pretty good climbs. It was our longest and hardest ride so far, and it was also the fastest. We averaged 15.5 mph over the 45 miles and Jenni had enough energy in the last mile to start a sprint. I ended the shenanigans by sprinting past her. I was happy when she said I won because my lungs were on fire and my legs were jell-o.
The best part of the ride was when we rode up the hill by the dam at Alum creek at 14mph+ the whole way. That hill has killed me in the past, and when I got to the top, I was surprised at how good I felt, and how quickly I got to the top. This hill is at the end of the bike leg of the triathlon next weekend, so I'm looking forward to hitting it again when I'm actually trying to ride fast to see what I can do.
One thing I've noticed, there are a lot of George Costanza's out playing "Frolf." These people are out there with frolf bags on their backs, some with 10 or more discs. It's crazy... I think the US Open is on ESPN 8, The Ocho sometime in July.
