Today I dusted off the tt bike and headed out for a sprint sized brick. The Midwest Monster Adventure is just two weeks away and a bike-run workout is key. Walking around the neighborhood with a 40# bag of sand would probably help too, but I will have to pass on that.
Just getting the legs turning and not over doing it was all I was looking for. I went 7 mile out and headed back in. I found my arms falling asleep in while in the aerobars. It has been a good month since I have been it the tuck position. But with a little shake, I found the blood coming back to my fingers.
14 miles later I found myself in the garage, slipping into my shoes, grabbed a hat and headed out for a run. The first couple of minutes is always the worst. My legs felt a little rubbery and took a little to get moving at full speed.
I originally intended on doing around 3 miles, but my legs felt great and I kept going. I ended up rackin’ up around 5.
I can’t wait until the Monster!
