Day 3 - no more rain!

It seriously need to stop raining, I can't take it anymore. We started the 112 mile bike as a group today - me, Justin, Liz, Vodoo Phil, Guru, and Jav. I did the first loop mostly with Guru, the others were out in front by 10 minutes or so after 56. I did the 2nd loop solo cuz I stopped for a coffee, the rain was making me cold, cranky, and miiserabe. I finished it all a bit faster than on Thursday and finished with some dignity instead of laying on the side of the road. My legs got under me and I was able to hold a decent pace, was shooting for around 7 hours but it took 20 minutes extra. The hills weren't as bad and I think I've made my peace with them. But me and mother nature are no longer on speaking terms. It was raining when I finished and I was frankly spent so I skipped the swim today. We all sucked back some burgers and called it a day. Liz was putting the guys to task, apparently putting the hammer down and making them chase, hahaha, I love that. One more day of big training and then back to normal life again. My legs have a lot of miles in them and I'm feeling it today. All in all I'm happy I was able to pull off another big ride. I did have some doubts going into it. Swim and run tomorrow, in the rain no doubt. Rock on peeps, be good. Out!
