Last Sunday, I came back from a week-long vacation in Disney World. During vacation, I indulged to my heart's content, but stayed active by walking around all day and doing three runs. I had a great time and it was totally worth it ;) When I got back, I used this week to tune up for my Sunday 10K race. I was planning on running at least twice, but that didn't happen. Instead, I felt like training on the bike. I cycled 26.2 miles on Marathon Monday, because I'm a dork. On Wednesday, I went with a local bike club for a training ride. It was pretty hilly, with about 1000 ft of elevation gain. I felt strong on those hills, and had a great ride.
On Sunday, my legs were feeling rested and ready to race! My head was in the game, and I had a great race. I must have done something right with my training, even though it's been pretty lax, lately. Check out my race recap here.
Monday- cycling 26.2 miles, avg 17.9 mph
Tuesday- running 6.2 miles with walking breaks, avg 7:22 pace for the run
Wednesday- 60 minutes hot yoga
Thursday- cycling 25 miles, hilly group ride, avg 19.3 mph
Friday- 60 minutes vinyasa yoga
Saturday- rest
Sunday- 10K Pike's Peak race , avg 6:59 pace
90 minutes Yin/Yang yoga
Totals
Running- 12.4 mi
Cycling- 51.2 mi
Now that this season's goal race for running is over, I am considering entering in my first cycling road race. I am still pretty new to cycling, but have made significant improvements since the fall season. There are a lot of skills I need to work on, and racing a bike is a whole different beast. I am learning, and though I feel far from confident in racing, I may just do it.
How did your training go this week? What was your best workout?
Any cyclists who can give me racing tips?
