Well finished up my 3 day weekend ride block with a 3 hour ride yesterday. Total time on the bike for the 3 days was 10 hours and probably about 155-160 miles. My battery on the cyclometer died and haven't found a store that carries the battery I need.
Overall it was a good weekend of riding, aside from some knee pain on day 2, it was good. My knee felt pretty good during the ride yesterday. A little tender today and quads are a little sore. I'll try to do a 30 minute run today and then take tomorrow off.

Trying to do a cycling block with the long weekend. Started off well yesterday with about a 70 miles ride. Tough ride though as the winds were blowing pretty good. Going out was fine, but coming across and back was a workout. Completely drained me.
Got back out today hoping to get in at least 3 hours, but my left knee was feeling a little out of whack so it had to cut it at 2 hours. Inside of the left knee, I think from having to push a higher gear and slower cadence yesterday to get through the wind put more pressure on the knee. As did a mountain bike ride on Thursday. Anyway, trying to stretch it out today and get back out there tomorrow.
Also got my confirmation email today for Ironman Canada. Had my brother sign me up while he was there last week. Very excited to meet all the other Trifuelers doing the race and to take the plunge into the full distance. Time to start putting in more miles and get physically and mentally prepared. Should be an awesome experience.
