I’m excited for this week: I have my mountain bike AND my tri bike back from respective shops so I’m ready to ride. The rain will hopefully not hamper this week and I can ride and run trails.
Bear Brook was so muddy and wet last week and I only did one run on the Concord trails. This week I’m hoping to do more trails and more mountain biking. While I’m 15 weeks out from Ironman Florida (my Mont Tremblant roll over race) I am still planning a few other races beforehand which means and trail running and big hikes in the White Mountains.
On Saturday I got to ride the Timberman bike course with Kristin, my high school friend. We met up last year while racing the . Saturday started out a cool 60 with sun. It was fun to catch up and ride the awesome roads around Laconia before heading into work.
Saturday was a perfect day at Gunstock. Temps in the 70s and gorgeous blue sky. What a day.
Sunday was a spin class at my new gym (interval work), long run in Concord and an open water swim with Sonja.
Sonja and I signed up for the in September. I’ve never done a swim/bike race but do love swimming in Lake Sunapee.
I also found the woman who we saw on Isolation who was doing the Direttissima. and I started following her on . She is writing up a race report and asked followers for questions. I asked her how she trained for it. Her short answer for now:
Just what I needed to know.
More time in the gym and time on feet.
