One Solid Weekend

It is late Sunday afternoon and I am extremely pleased with the training weekend I just had. On Friday morning I hit the spin bike at my gym before work for a nice solid 40 minute workout, which may not seem all that impressive, except for the fact I returned home late the night before from a work trip to the West Coast. On Saturday morning I completed my strongest brick of the year--a solid 21-mile ride, followed by a 3-mile run at 6:49 pace. I had one of my best ascents ever of the brutal hill right by the George Washington Bridge--I rode out of the saddle the entire time in a nice easy gear, and rather than sitting back down after I crested the worst part remained up for the little rollers right afterward. My legs felt exceptionally good on the run as well. Today I hit the gym for a full body workout, my first weightlifting in a couple of weeks. Now I just have to get back in the pool again--it has been awhile unfortunately...
