65/15

I took a half a day Friday to get in this week's brick. 65 mile bike, 15 mile run. Tim joined me for most of it...which considering that IMAZ is in November, he is off to a good start, solid base.

We rode to Loveland and back, just over 65. Clouds had been looming for most of the day, but much to our chagrin...no rain, especially on the run..it was just plain old stinkin' hot. At 6 miles we turned back towards home, but not before I shared the "ice in the shorts" trick...kinda brings you back to life on days like that, a simple pleasure of endurance sports.

I finished up with a three mile out and back that I usually do as an easy OD run...felt a little different after five and a half hours on the legs. Finished it all off with more ice; a nice big fat ice bath...20 lbs of ice in the tub was the perfect cool down.

With the Covarrubias' coming to town this weekend it'll be nice to have a relatively low key weekend ...first in a long while.

6 weeks to IM.
