Biking

Legs were not quite ready to run today but they felt great out biking! Pam & I covered something over 40 miles this evening heading out from Plymouth LTF on the Liberty course around Lake Independence and then out Rt 6. Thankfully the rain held off and apart from a little wind it was perfect biking conditions. We were taking it pretty easy for the most part so I kept my HR below 140 with an average of 119 over the 2.5hrs. I am so happy with the Orbea - JJ's spin classes are definitely paying off, trying to concentrate on high cadence and feeling really comfortable in the aero position. Looking forward to building up the long weekend rides over the coming months. Great cross-training and of course I'm hoping to take a nice chunk off my bike time at Arizona...
