Week 31: 108 miles...This time in Napa


Whew! This was my third 100 + mile bike ride in 3 weeks. The route in Napa was rolling to flat, so it felt like a really fast 100 miles, but the last 8 miles were really tough, both mentally and physically. I rode with Nick, LuLu, and sometimes, Becky and Mike D. We averaged 18 mph! We followed our epic ride up with a 2 mile run.


On Sunday, we had a coached swim and run. The focus for both was to improve our technique. For the swim, I need my hand entry to extend later in thestroke and to pull all the way through. For the run, I need to relax my shoulders, breath in through the nose and out through the mouth, and maintain 90 rpm. Easier said than done.


Condition: 3 centuries in 3 weeks = money in the bank!
