48 mile bike ride
Written by admin on December 13, 2007 – 7:49 pm -Woke up real early today to get my long ride in before 9am. I was on the bike at 5am, and rode the cranks for 9 miles, then jumped on the tri bike. I had some standing efforts, and I just can’t stand on the cranks…some people can, I am not one of them. I felt really good, and if I had to, could have ridden longer. Finished the bike and went out for a quick mile run. Again, even with the snow and ice on the ground, I was able to do a mile off the bike in z2 under 8 min. For some, that’s probably not a very big accomplishment. But for me, it’s a good pace for where I’ve come from.
I plan to run tomorrow, even with a 10k race on saturday. I figure it’s a good training run, and running with tired legs. You’ll see that I’ve enabled the ‘comments’ feature on my blog. Feel free to leave a comment, I’ll post it if it’s postable of course.

Hey BJ-
I enjoy reading your blog. I check it out every few days…
When you talk about “the cranks” are you referring to Powercranks? I think my hips would protest! I have been trying to do a lot of isolated leg spinning on the trainer to help with this…
I restarted my own training journal a few weeks ago – I should be fair and share: craigmwilson.net
take care!
