Saturday was a great day to bike, on the chilly side, but the day warmed up nicely. I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to bike because it rained the day before, and it was freezing cold Saturday morning. The group was much smaller than the previous week, but still a great turnout. We went on a 90min bike ride in Rock Creek Park, in Washington, D.C. We made it to the end too quickly, so, the leader made us climb an enormous hill to the Mormon temple. Eventually we made it back after a total of about 90 mins. Average speed was just under 18mph, average cadence was 79rpm for about 25.22 miles. The funny thin was, one of the coaches after the ride basically told me I was going to fast for the workout, that we were supposed to be in Zone 2 which meant an easy ride at about average speed of 16mph. He encouraged me to just take it easy, and that soon, we'll be starting interval training, which is where we'll build up speed. What can I say, I like to go fast :)
Sunday I made it out for a 30min swim at Spring Hill RECenter. I didn't get through the entire workout, but got through most of it, and then I drove to the trail and ran for about 29min for about 3 miles. The weekend was tiring, I was beat after both workouts Saturday and Sunday.
I can't wait to start the interval workouts. I will probably be more tired, but I can't wait to start building up speed.
