My past 3 training days have been really great! Sunday we went to dinner at a friends house and I decided to ride my bike. It was 20 miles away, so I left an hour before the rest of the family. The wind was pretty strong and it was hilly, but it was good ride and I made it with a friendly honk from my family as they passed me.
Monday was a block of swim/bike I did 2400yds in 58 min and then rode the trainer for an hour (the weather was looking really yucky) My 2nd son and I watched, Anna and the King, while I rode the trainer.
Tuesday ended up being my free day so my husband and I could help our oldest son finish his requirements for the Arrow of Light, the highest award in cub scouts.
Today was looking like another skipped day, but there are situations that just tick me off and then I need to blow off the steam. If there is one good thing about exercise, it's the reward of being able to let go of all your frustrations. I got on my bike and hit the road, I decided to do a portion of the 70.3 route. One mile in and I was brewing over my frustration and then it happened...a motorcyclist gave me the bird. SERIOUSLY!!!! He was on the other side of the road, I wasn't in any way bothering him or making his ride less enjoyable, or so I thought. This poor man was obviously mad, mad at cyclist. I felt sorry for him and his need to be so rude, but someone on the road was probably rude to him. There is plenty of room on the road, we all need to be responsible and be careful to EVERYONE on them. I hope he felt a little better after his public display of his finger. :)
Back to my ride, it was awesome!! Uphill was 2mph faster than 3 weeks ago and then I was able to stay between 18-21mph the rest of the ride! Today's ride gave me a little more confidence, I really needed it.
To end the day we celebrated our sons bday with a yummy gluten free chocolate cake! I love my lil man!!
Have fun the rest of this week and train hard!
Chris :)
