Was nice to sleep in to the normal time for the first time this week. So felt rested for the ride today. Which was going to be a 2 hr ride. So we decided to ride the course for the Kearns sprint race that is coming up in 2 weeks. I opted to ride my tri bike and Kristi took her road bike. So it was good to see at what parts she would come out of the saddle and I would have to stay in it to keep up. Since it is tougher on a tri bike on the hills. There was a North wind which really didn't really bother me much on my tri bike. Yet was more of a issue for her. And on the hill I was able to keep up ok on the steepest parts of the hill. And for the downhills and flats with the wind. I would be able to pull away from her. So that was good test to see which bikes. I will for sure be using my tri bike. Since I have ridden both course before since it is around my work.:) Should be a good race. After the first hour Kristi was freezing. And so I went on alone to scout out a good riding route for us to do for another hr. Turned out that I finished 1 hr later and only a few secs under 2 hr mark. With the wind also on this part of the ride. Which was a strong crosswind. I didn't notice it much in the sense of it trying to blow me over like it would on my road bike. Which was good. The bad thing was on this downhill portion I should of been able to go alot faster. But the wind slowed me down to 26-7 mph. Till I got back into the neighborhood area. And it was back up to 29-30. Avg speed was 15.6. And 31.4 miles. This was my longest outdoor ride I have done to date. Besides when I was younger. |
