I worked out a total of 9hours and 40minutes between Monday-Sunday of this past week. We're talking: swimming, biking, running, and lots of core/PT fantasticness. I don't think I've legitimately ever worked out for 6 days straight, and this was just pure amazingness.
The Half Iron season I'd say is going pretty well, and on Saturday, I got to experience my longest bike ride ever, and it was the first time I'd been on my bike since the Nations Triathlon in September of last year. Literally, I was in a different state the last time I rode my bike, if we're not counting the quick ride I took to get my bike home (where I also managed to totally derail my chain..)
35miles of glorious I-9/9W highway, parts of the West Side Highway, and lots of snow and ice to narrowly avoid. It was the coldest weather I've ever ridden in, considering I've only previously trained for the NYC Triathlon with my training usually starting in late March/early April. Needless to say, what an experience, and can't wait to do it all over again next week!
Special thank you and shoutout to my teammate, Kristin, who kept me going and got the BK team to wait for me at the foot of the GWB when I missed the turn onto the Palisades and just went the normal driving route to the GWB. :)
Seriously, still feeling a bit of the high from that ride, and have to remember to clean off my bike, cause it got reaaaal dirty, slushy and messy out there.
*Feeling solid about this season.*
