Spent 13.5 hours in the car yesterday! On the last gas fill-up and once in Center, I was having trouble getting out of the car. My legs didn't like it at all.
So I did an easy 20 minute bike and 10 minute run today to work it all out. I felt much better afterwards! I found riding on the great plains of North Dakota to be fairly taxing mentally. It takes FOREVER to get to the next little hill. It felt like I was going quite slow. Of course, my speedometer crapped out, so I didn't know how fast I was actually going, but it felt slow. My legs felt really weak off the bike but came together nicely after just a minute or so.
I'll do this easy workout again tomorrow to keep my legs kind of fresh.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
