First Bike Ride

Last night I decided on a change of plans. I ditched swimming and decided to ride my bike instead (I knew I would miss my spin class tonight so I wanted the bike training more than the swim training). I rode the same distance as I did on Saturday (Orangewood to Weir Canyon). The total distance is 24 miles. I did it in 1:25:43. This is the time from door to door. I think I did my ride on Saturday in about 1:30:00 minutes. But the catch about last night was that there was a heavy head wind on the way back. My mile pace dropped a lot on the way back, but I still managed a faster time than last week. I am going to watch my times and see what happens. I definitely feel faster on my new bike. Adjusting to aero bars is kinda hard. I need to figure out how to not let my shoulder blades hurt. It was fun though!

Tonight, no training. Lakers party. Tomorrow night I would like to do my late-night gym night. Maybe swimming, running, other cardio and weight lifting.
