the warm weather advantage

3 hour rides are unbearable inside. almost impossible. thats why i was so happy when i woke up this morning at 6 am (yes on a saturday), and realized that the weather, despite the forecast calling for rain, was sunny and beautiful. I went out for a 3 hour ride followed by a 25 minute run, right after which the skies got dark and it rained on and off all day.

now this workout flew by outside, which gives me hope that i can actually make it through the 5 or 6 hour rides that i will ecounter as i roll into ironman training time ( starting in june... AHH) and get closer to the day of the race.

i carried some nutrition with me this time which helped as i passed the 2 hour mark, but i find myself pretty tired the rest of the day. hopefully, my body will start getting more and more used to workouts closer to 4 hours and it will eventually have less of an effect on me.

This is all for now, more of an unpdate really. maybe my next post will be a little more informative. I am trying to slowly get the word out about my efforts to raise money but i think ill treally get that ball rolling at the same time as the start of ironman training. give people a few more weeks before they are bombarded with emails/facebook messages.

Alrigh. more later.
