Yesterday, we had a brick on the schedule...it was a little cool in the morning before we headed out on our bikes and HH thought it'd be a great idea to wear her snowboarding socks as part of her cycling outfit. Of course, without even planning it, the socks with her omnipresent PINK, actually matched the bike gear...and I was cracking up the entire ride. The ensemble was a big hit with the group at the campsite. We were supposed to do a 60 mile ride with 2 x 10 mile TT's and then a 20-minute run. I was still a bit beat from Fat Salmon (2 Aleve necessary right out of bed in the a.m.) and my legs just didn't have it for the longer speedwork...I managed 2 x 5 miles within the 60 and the headwind on our way back when I was doing them made for a bit of a challenge (including me swearing very loudly at the wind more than once...). However, the ride flew by since the scnery and conversation were great, the run part was fine, and we were back on the beach for a really GREAT afternoon in no time.
Here's me with Indie, Diller, and Amy on Saturday afternoon...gorgeous afternoon on the beach!
Here's Jenny and her very cool dogs...she's the total surfer beach girl...they all were in their natural habitat on the beach and really cute!
And lastly, of course...HH in HER natural habitat...both outdoors AND on the phone with Stacia...
This morning we just wanted to get coffee and start driving back to Seattle, so we procrastinated today's run...by the time we got around to running, it was about 6 p.m. and we went to Seward Park. The run was to be a 6 mile run with 4 mile tempo, but...despite the fact that I slept in today until 9:00 (yup, that's NINE a.m.), I was dragging a bit...we did a 5-mile run alternating miles with moderate/hard/moderate/hard/moderate. I decided it was close enough and the workout was a good way to end a non-stop FUN 3 days!
5 mile Run:
1 mile/8:44/Avg HR = 143
1 mile/7:32/Avg HR=157
1 mile/9:16/Avg HR = 141
1 mile/7:29/Avg HR = 161
1 mile/9:18/Avg HR = 145
