Last Weekday Ride

Since the daylight savings will be ending on Sunday, Carrie and I decided that we needed to get one last weekday ride in. We rode Peter's Canyon last night. My legs are a little sore since I haven't worked out since Thursday. Tonight I am going to swim and do other cardio. I need to get rid of my stomach fat. It's gross and I wish it would go away. The rest of my body is fine. Anyways, my goal for the rest of the year is to work out 4 days a week, 3 of those days must be triathlon specific. It will be hard with birthdays, holidays, and family events coming up. I like this time of year though. I also need to watch what I eat. Eat slow and limit sugars!

Change of Plans

Last night I went mountain biking and tonight I will swim. I forgot to bring my running shoes so it will be swimming only. I will just have to swim longer to make up for it.

Ride with Skyler

Saturday afternoon Skyler and I were able to squeeze in a bike ride. We rode Whiting Ranch, which I had ridden twice before, but Skyler had not done. It turned out to be a pretty hot day and once we got to the long hill, we were sweating like crazy. It was a fun ride! I actually went off a jump. It was scary because I should have pulled up a little higher. Practice makes perfect! Tonight I will be swimming.

Back on the Bike

Yesterday afternoon I got back on my bike for the first time since the OCTRI. I have felt a little unmotivated because I am done with triathlons for the year, but I needed to get back into shape. I did the Weir Canyon ride. 8:34 to trail, 33:49 to Weir Canyon, 35:18 back, 10 minutes home. It was definitely not my fastest time, but it was great to be back on my bike.

Bike Ride

Last night I did the Weir Canyon bike ride. 7:15 to get to trail. 32:23 to Weir Canyon. 34:19 to get back. 8:31 to get home. My legs felt tired last night, which is good. Tonight I will do an easy swim, then I will relaz for the rest of the week. Good luck to me on the race!

Bike Ride

I started off my week by doing the Weir Canyon ride. It is 21 miles on the trail. It took 9 minutes to get to the trail, then 32:03 to Weir Canyon, then 34:45 back, then 10 minutes back home. I rode hard at the end, but it is always windy coming back. Saturday night I weighed myself and I was 113.6! I almost fainted! I haven't weighed that much in a while and I don't think it was muscle because I have been lacking on my weight lifting lately. Fortunately, as of last night, I was back down to 111.0. Phew! I need to beef up and trim down. Race diet started yesterday. No sweets, no french fries, low fat.
