Yesterday was a crazy day. I love the early summer days, when there is plenty of daylight, when the local outdoor pool is open and free of charge and when I’m feeling strong.
The great and generous R agreed to watch my bike, so I was able to ride 20 miles and run 3.3 miles. I [...]
In the past 36 hours I rode 23 miles on my road bike, ran 7.3 miles over the Brooklyn Bridge and back with R, and did a 3 x 520 yd swim with one minute breaks between the sets. I managed to meet the goals I set for the weekend.
