PM Workout #1: 21 Miles Cycling
Course: Great Kills Park (6 loops)
Time: 1:08:03 (18.5 MPH)
Weather: 85F, Sunny, Moderately Heavy Winds
Interesting. It looks like another year where we went from winter straight into summer without any spring. Cool; I need the heat training anyway.
I met a couple of cool women on the course today. One of them has done Ironman and ultramarathons before and was recovering from a marathon that she did last weekend. She missed Boston by seconds but that means she's just going out to do another marathon this year. I like her spirit. She will be doing the North Face 50k in Bear Mountain next month, one of the toughest courses in the nation. I wish her well with it. I might be volunteering for that race to get that mandatory requirement in for my Vermont 100.
As for the bike ride, it was a bit windy going in one direction. Nevertheless, this was an easy paced ride and was enjoyable. The best part is that I'm in that kind of shape where I feel comfortable in all three disciplines now, which has only happened back when I was in my prime. And that is a good omen!

PM Workout #2: 6 Miles Running
Course: South Avenue
Time: 55:39 (9:16 min/mile pace)
Weather: 75F, Clear, Light Winds
This was a run done at dusk, a nice little adventure on the road through the swamp. South Avenue cuts through a pretty wild sounding environment with all sorts of wildlife emanating from the swamps on the side of the road. When the cars aren't driving by, it really sounds like I entered a wild jungle of a sort; all that was missing was a roar of a lion. Anyway, the run was easy paced and quite fun.
Weekly totals so far:
6000 meters swimming
42 miles cycling
6 miles running
