SF Brick

Great ~23 mile ride today in 1'30" to the Panhandle, through Golden Gate Park, along the beach, two loops around Lake Merced, then up Vicente, never dropping in to my granny gear.  I remember my first ride up Vicente, granted, i hadn't been warmed up, but it was tough, and today when it was at mile 20, it was a piece of cake, just kept the legs moving.

Then i got off the bike and ran.  Down hill to the beach, then uphill back home.  Downhill = Fun, uphill = work.  I did a little under 4 miles in 38 minutes, which walking, and stopping for stoplights, which made my time 10'04" per mile.  Not where i wanted it, but it was a tough brick.  I need to get a few more distance running trainings in this week and next.  Then a good taper before the race.
