3 hours...gone!

Big Workout Sunday:
3 hours in Huntington Beach. 2 hour bike ride followed by a 1 hour run. For the ride we had a flat trek along the beach (slow to avoid pedestrians) and then hit it hard 10 miles out and back (20 mph on the way there, down to 17/18 on the way back--headwind) and back up to our "transition" location. "Transition time" was longer than ordinary to allow for cramming of my bike into the back seat of the Celica. I don't need to get my back stolen 2 weeks before the race!! Made the run in exactly an hour (32 out, 28 back). It seems the second half of the run gets a bit easier. It takes that long to get the legs used to not moving in circles anymore. It was maybe 7 miles, but probably just under....it's hard to run fast when you've been working out for so long!

Saturday was a 4 mile team run. We stayed all together which was fun (and slow) but allowed our coach to share some of his war stories from past Tri's and try to assuage any fears we first-timers had about the race. My #1 fear now is how to look good for the pics! ;) He said no chance of looking good on the bike....damn. I'm hoping a pained smile on the run might work out for me.
