Last big Beach to Battleship workout

Bike 121.4 miles, run 5.4.  That was my interpretation of the scheduled ride 7 hours/run 1 hour.  Got off the bike in 7:44 feeling rather spry but an hour of running in the Florida afternoon will kill any spring in your step.  Still, managed to run 5.4 miles in an hour.

Passed mile 112 in 7:09 knowing that time would give me a bike PR on race day yet my HR spent its day on the edge of zone 1/zone 2.  Good stuff.

After inhaling half of a pizza, I was completely tired.  In bed by 8:30.  But it was a good day.

And I'm sending positive vibes out to Holly because I know she has a 120 ride this weekend as well.  She was part of my inspiration to ride 120.  Technically, I only had to ride 7 hours which at my 15.7 pace would only have been about 107 miles.

But there were no riding routes that would give me 107.  Or 110 for that matter.  And I knew my brain needed a 112 mile ride to feel ready for race day.  It was a very low tech day.  We ran out of Carbo Pro and hammergel (thanks to the Saturn's new starter) so 6 hours of my nutrition came from homemade oatmeal cookies and plain old koolaid.

The run did suck (because I ran out of salt, too) but my only goal was to run 15 minutes and "just see".  The "just see" strategy seems to work best for me.
