39 miles (29 on the road and 10 on the trainer) It was really fun to ride with my buddy Steve and encourage him in his cycling. Three months into the new hobby and he's still got the "fire in his belly" to take on new challenges. Steve climbed his second and third hill ever, today! Roughly a thousand feet of climbing and the poor guy totally bonked about 2 miles from the car. Thankfully, we had parked next to a Starbucks, so he could grab a quick cinnamon roll and gain some color back in his face. ;-) We've all been there and he was a good sport about "coming back" from his first official bonk.
This last week has been brutal for training and I really don't mind. I've only ridden an additional 18 miles. Instead, I've been seated at the holiday training table, where an incremental five pounds seem to have found their way to my belly. No worries, with the new year comes the return of South Beach and a thoughtful TRI-Geek training plan. By the end of February everything should be back in place and ready to go. Haaa...
