Week 9 – Week before the Half

July 16, 2016 by Amy Riley Leave a Comment

Sunday - 4-hour bike ride. My friend Amy was a guest at my gym and we did the 1.5 hour class at 8:30am. I got in 15 minutes before class and asked Amy to ride with me 15 minutes afterwards to get me to 2 hours. She’s such a support. She did!

It’s really my favorite. Went out 1 hour and 15 minutes and then Continue Reading

Sunday - Long swim! I didn't sleep well and then slept in. Was slow to get out on the water. The kids wanted to be in the water with me. I waited for a while for my daughter to get back from errands with her Grandma and finally decided that I just needed to get going. I jumped in with wet suit on and started the long swim. The main workout said 4 x 1000m, so I figured I could turn the GPS on my watch and swim to 2.5 Continue Reading
