Back in the Saddle

Went on a quick bike ride last night. I took the Crossfit approach to cycling, though. Instead of just pedaling around for a couple of hours, I decided to hit it hard. I rode along the River Trail in Little Rock, so I didn't have to worry about traffic that much.

The first half of the ride was my warm up and a steady state ride. I tried to keep a strong pace without over-taxing myself. The second half of the ride started with Tabata intervals. Ouch...

For some reason, I felt kind of slow throughout the ride. However, the whole ride only lasted about 45 minutes. I also managed to average close to 17 MPH. Not too shabby.

Today is a 'back to Crossfit' day.

Tough Cardio/Biking Day

Did a hard ride this afternoon after work. The prescribed Crossfit WOD was a 10k, so I figured I had to ride for at least an hour.

I managed to ride a little over an hour (1:06) and averaged out at 16.6mph. Of course, it helped that I jumped in with a group for the second half of my ride. I felt really strong and not only sat in a bit, but jumped out and pushed the pace a couple of times.

Tomorrow is RANDY!
