Rain Days

I was concerned about maintaining intensity after my half IM race Saturday. Turns out Mother Nature has it in for me, too.

I decided to go to my normal Monday morning quarry swim, to get back in the swing of things, but on my way there I saw lightening, so I turned around and headed back east as quickly as I could. I ran into the Y and got in the pool, but only swam 22 minutes before they figured out about the thunderstorm. Bummer. I ran after, just enough to get the kinks out.

Tuesday was supposed to be a group ride. I honestly was looking forward to seeing everyone again, and blabbing about my race. But there was rain overnight, and then rain predicted for about 10 a.m. At 5 a.m. there was a flurry of text messages and phone calls, and the bike was called off.

I am not so easily dissuaded, and elected to do the hour and 20 minutes in the trainer in my garage. The weather was actually nice and I could have ridden from home, but I feel safer with a group at that hour. I ran 30 minutes after.

I cannot be sidelined!
