Bike ride

Today was a nice, easy 45 minute bike ride. Coach Mark had me doing 30 minute rides. I talked to him about incorporating more time on the bike, so it looks like we're kicking it up a notch.

I've been trying to fill the tires for weeks now. I couldn't seem to make it happen. I finally called Dan and asked him. He laughed so hard when he realized that I never unscrewed the little thing at the tip after taking off the cap. I don't remember that part. Not even from all the riding I did on that bike in Fallon. Oh well. Now I know.

So I took the road bike out this morning and it was a really fun ride. My butt is sore, though. I thought about Coach Mark and the other TeamMPI athletes who did IronMan TX yesterday. My butt hurt after around 10 miles. They rode 112. And that was in between the swim and the marathon. I've got nothing to complain about.

I rode out Mobile Highway towards Beulah, back on Blue Angel, then out to Saufley and back to Bellview. It was a nice ride. I did 11.56 miles in 48:40. My average speed was 14.3mph. I'd like to get that to 15 or 16.
