<p>5 miles in Z2/Z3, basically just whatever pace I felt like at the time.  Set my Garmin to show distance and HR, so I had no idea of pace.  Ended up at 39:48 with HR of 140.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Congrats to a great weekend of workouts and racing everyone!!!</p>

<p>Thinking about maybe taking a rest day today, not sure.  Body is feeling rather beat up.  I'm sure I could knock out the planned workout, but not sure I would gain much from it at this point.  But then again, maybe I'll get bored later.    And it's an awfully nice day today...</p>

<p>ran 5 on the local rail trail.  lovely day in the woods.  now the ILs are coming over for a BBQ.  good thing there's lots of good beer in my fridge.</p>
<p> </p>

[SpartyGirl]

<p>Bravo SnS!!!  That is one fantastic PR!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DOR I think - if I do anything it will be an easy spin and stretch, nothing structured.  Legs feel great after yesterday, was nervous about my hips but everything seems good!</p>

Monica, great to hear that you are now 5 miles!!!! Great patience my friend.<br><br>
Volunteering at the tri race organized by our tri club. Another successful one thanks to all those who spent lots of time preparing for it!!<br>
Did the 1.5mile ows race - it was long and took me almost 1hr. Followed by 2 mile run. Got to be ready for the Battle of Waterloo!!<br><br><br>

<p>Century+ (105.7 miles by cyclometer - probably a mile or two short of actual) into Vermont with some serious climbing (over 7000 ft) ... hills were pretty relentless (steepest grade at some point was 17.5%) and longgg. Several mechanicals in the group along the way, including me (2 broken spokes at about the 70 mile mark). Pace ended up being very moderate (mid 15s) - partly due to mechanicals, partly due to terrain. And I do have to say - my ass is definitely looking forward to a day (or 2) off the saddle. It feels ...ummm ... tender. Legs feel fine though....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Off to read some race reports.</p>

<p>50.6 miles out West in MA relative to where I live (Charlton, Brookfield, Warren, Palmer).  Bit more hilly than what I've been riding.  Rode with zojmn151 and her husband.  He was inspired to quote Blade Runner before we headed up a series of 3 hills, each increasing in length.  "Time to die."  LOL!  They were hard work, but not *that* bad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then, I visited with AdCo and MoCo for a bit.  They *do* have many tasty beers.</p>

 

[AdCo]

<p>Had a nice run on the rail trail with some friends.  Did the first 7+ with them at a nice pace, and then did 3 by myself for 10. Feeling better, was a great day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thor, we hit the start of the rail trail out in W. Boylston.  It's about 3 flatish out and back, then there is about a mile out that is a bit hillier.  Of course, it is "uphill" on the out" and then nice and fast back.. It's a false flat, so you just can't figure out why it is so hard. </p>
