Summer is here!

Summer is finally here! A long, wet, cool spring was long overdue to go away. The weather seemed to break in time for the Janet's Triathlon.

Now it's hot! Last week I was in Boise and did my first long run (11 miles) in the heat. It hurt.

Saturday, I did my longest bike so far...48 miles out to McCammon and back. First 36 miles were great, then it started to hurt. I do twice the race distances for swim and run workouts, but I've never done a bike twice the race distance. Now I konw why I always die on the bike. I certainly need to do at least a few 36 milers, although I've gone 2 hours on the trainer and logged 40 miles according to that setup (I don't completely trust the reading, though).

Now, I'm back into a nice training schedule for a couple of weeks while I decide if I want to do the Twin Falls race. It was GREAT to do an easy 15 miler in the heat today....I forgot how much I really like to ride on a hot day.
