We were up early and out the door by 6:50am to meet the group for the group ride. We were doing a time trial today. I really was feeling tired physically. Sunday is my 6th day of training and I always look forward to Monday. My day of rest.
Sunday is also my FAVORITE day to train because it's the only day Bruce and I can ride together. Riding our bikes together is probably one of my most favorite things to do. I can't wait until Bruce's project is over. Maybe he'll start training for a sprint triathlon. I hope so. That would be so much fun.
So, anyway we did a 5 mile warm up and then we did the time trial along Pecos. I forgot to turn on my watch. DUH! So unfortunately, I have no stats of my own. I'm so bummed.
Bruce figured out I rode 10 miles in 29:06. Pretty good for my first time trial. He was actually pretty impressed. He's thinking that if I keep training he won't be able to keep up with me. Go figure.
He's an amazing bike rider. He rides 1 day per week (that's all his schedule will allow right no) and he smokes everyone. Well, except for a little gal who is super speedy.
Oh and today is our second anniversary. I feel like I've known Bruce my whole life. That's a good thing. We'll be going to our favorite pizza joint for dinner. In May we're going to Vegas to see the Cirque du Soleil show LOVE. That's our anniversary present. I can't wait.

I am really impressed with your riding! Seriously, when I got to the finish line I DID NOT expect you to be the next rider behind me!!! That is awesome. I was SO PROUD of you to not have any of the other seasoned riders pass you! The bad part is that I couldn't get more distance on you! Geez, you'll be faster than me in a few more weeks. I am going to have to start taking this more seriously.
Maggie - I am deeply impressed by your effort in this. You are kicking butt. Obviously, Carla is faster, but she probably weighs a 110 lbs, and has a cyclist' body (no upper body, strong legs). She has an automatic advantage. BUT - She has also been in training WAY longer, and is 10 years younger! You ROCK, and I'll bet if you keep going you'll be keeping up with her by the end of summer, if not sooner.
KEEP GOING!!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!
Since when is 5 miles of ANYTHING a warm-up? Isn't that an entire freaking event?
Happy Anniversary! While it's nice that you are both so loving and supportive today, it's even nicer that you are this loving and supportive EVERY day.
Thanks for including others in your healthy lifestyle - it rubs off on us.
