BeeLine/Usery Loop - 50 mile Ride



Bush Highway/Beeline Loop =  50 miles

Today me and the boys (Joe, Geoff, and Ron) road a 50 mile loop.  It started out rough because it was so early.  Waking up at 4:30 a.m. to excercise is rough.  The ride was nice.  The first 20 miles was pretty but there was more climbing then I thought there would be.  I don't think I drank or ate enough b/c by the end of the ride I totally BONKED.  I was exhausted.  I don't think it helped that it was 97 degrees outside.  I've got a long way to go before this darn Ironman.

100 days until the Ironman!

Here we go!  100 days until the Ironman Arizona.  What have I gotten myself into?  I'm so crazy. 

I've been trying to follow my training plan on  beginnertriathlete.com but I keep falling short on mileage.  I'm going to keep working on it but it is tough to stay up on everything when you have a job, children and responsibilities.  UGH! 

We will see how it goes.  It will be a wild ride!
