Karma arrived on Tuesday so I spent a LOT of time in the saddle this past week. Heaven--this bike rides like heaven. I was riding an aluminum frame trek with bottom of the line components for two years. Between the frame and the components on this bike, I feel like I could ride FOREVER. Its so smooth and effortless, I would never have imagined that they would make such a difference.
Tuesday - 3 mi run (including the Rickenbacker) + .9 mile swim (AM), Yoga (PM)
Wednesday - 20 mile "shake out" ride on the new bike.
Thursday - Solo 15 mile bike
Friday - 1.25 mile run on the treadmill + Body Pump
Saturday - 31 mile ride
Sunday - 22 mile ride (AM), 5 mi run (or wog, it could be called a wog) (PM).
I was seriously considering trying to squeeze in next weekend's scheduled "long" run since we will be up to other things next weekend. I left at 3pm to allot for enough time to finish 14 miles before it got dark. BIG mistake. The heat index was at least 101. It was brutal out. Plus I haven't been in the saddle much since the end of June, so I think my body was tired. I settled for 5 and was totally okay with that.
The best part of the week was that I got THREE rides with my better half. We rarely get to ride together, because of the kids, so it was a wonderful treat.
