I haven’t been out on the bike since the fall. It has been a long winter on the trainer. The high temp today was in the 60’s and was getting outside on the bike no matter what. I waited until 0930 before I left. I road from my house down Washington and to Chatham and back via the trails. Parts were pretty muddy, and at one point I got off and walked my bike across. There was about 200 feet of loose gravel and mud. I was not in the mood to change a flat, so I carried my bike. I got home doing 30 miles. It was a tough first ride, but felt good to get outside.
After picking up the kids, I squeezed in a track work out. I did 10×400’s at a fast pace. I haven’t done any speed work out side, most of my repeats I have done on the treadmill this winter. My legs were feeling the ride earlier, but I still managed 1:33’s for the 400’s. After a good sweat at the track it was time for 1600 powerzone.
After finishing my work outs I went home to cook dinner. I started the grill , the kids wanted bratwurst, and I tried something new. I grilled tofu. Yes, it is possible. I was going to mix it in with some turnip greens, but it turns out those are gross. I ate my grilled tofu with some portabella mushrooms instead. It was delicious.
