Just catching up. Last night was my 5th brick workout, and though I felt pretty tired, it actually turned out to be one of the best yet. I rode 20.5 miles in 1:11:52 for an average (that surprised me) of 17.1 mph. Those miles included 4 x 1.5-mile pickups, which is part of the reaston for the speediness. But pickups usually take a bit out of me and I end up going slower overall.
I transitioned quicker than ever, partly because I’d forgotten my biking gloves and therefore didn’t have to take them off. A mere 1:14 after getting off my bike, I was off and running. BOY did my legs feel like concrete. Unbelievable. But I ran 2 miles, with 3 1-minute walking breaks (one at each 1/2 mile) in scarily steady splits of 11:32.1 and 11:32.1. Yes, steady down to the tenth of a second. Freaky.
nice workout, sarah.
