Great Weekend - Get the Long Work In!


This weekend was a great weekend for training. I had two key workouts that really made for a strong weekend of training.

It started on Saturday with a trip to the Waterford Bicycle Factory for a long group ride. The ride was 42 miles through the beautiful Wisconsin countryside. We traveled through Lake Geneva and then headed back to the factory. It was great to get in some hill work. I rode with a couple on a tandem bike that could really hammer when they wanted to. We cruised along at quite a pace!
On Sunday I headed out early in the morning for a run along the Alpine runner's course in Lake Zurich. I headed in the opposite direction than we usually run just to mix up the scenery. The weather was warm, but comfortable and the run cruised along nicely. I held a good steady pace and felt the effects of the effort!
