May 7: Last Training Ride


Distance 40 miles
Hill Repeats
Temp 43 degrees at start

Underway at 7:30 am. Rode rt. 28 to Clark's Gap on W&OD. Then did 11 x 800 meter hill repeats on large hill (Meadow Lark). Went well. Met John Benz who was also doing hill repeats. He was training for an Iron Man event at Lake Placid (Swim 2 miles, ride bike 100 miles and run 26.2 miles). Rode together after getting our fill of hill back to rt. 28.

Took bike to shop to be boxed. Bike gets to taper too!

Gil,

Have a great trip, you've trained well for it, I know, because I've gone a few of the training rides. Let the ride and experience come to you, you're well prepared, you'll do good!

I'll Pretend not to miss you for the next couple of months at Burke Lake and on the W&OD Trail.
