I'm so tired that this will be short. It was a great weekend. I was actually afraid to go to Culpeper to cycle...I was afraid of the hills...I decided to go when I realized I did not have another place to ride or another time to ride this week. I also decided that I would just take it slowly to get the miles in.
It started out cold and windy but not as cold or windy or rainy or snowy as my friend were having it at Lake Placed - so it was all good. The weather actually turned out perfect! Sunny, a bit windy, but definitely not cold...PERFECT.
I took the hills as they came...surprising myself at climbing what once would have been an impossible climb for me. Even though I was doing 2 or 3 miles an hour...I decided that the pain of muscle cramping did NOT outweighed the pain of falling over =) and so I continued....slowly, slowly....
The downhills were totally worth it!! For all my friends who did 48, 64 or 70 or 96! Kudos to you..Those hills are NO JOKE!
Sunday's swim was a success too...b/c I learned some things...
1. I can swim...and I can swim comfortably in my wet suit now
2. I need to go to swim practice, b/c even though I can swim, 3 miles was TOUGH!
3. No more swims in my Team Z onesie!! OUCH...it chaffs... (so I guess I won't need the lipo after all...just a new suit!)
4. Team Z rocks!
I decided NOT to run today b/c my muscles were still kind of twitchy from yesterday...I will try to run tomorrow before work. I'm so thankful this is recovery week!!! If this is the build for a 1/2 Ironman!! OMG...i'm dreading, but excited to push myself for the Ironman builds (I may regret I said that!!!)
One other thing...my house if FINALLY being painted, repaired and otherwise spiffed up. NOT the best week for it b/c of work...but I'll take it..Excited to see the finished product.!
