Well, I went for it. Using the free Runtastic app for android, I logged in 13.1 miles at Shelby Farms. It took me a little over an hour (I'm not posting the exact time yet...I'm feeling superstitious about that for some reason).
I love this app (Runtastic). It tells me how fast I'm going, and uses my phone's gps to track where I have been, my overall pace and even when on the ride I've gone my fastest and slowest. It is an amazing tool, and I think it will be indispensable as I continue distance skate training. I did waste a little too much time fiddling with it on the ride, but it was my first time to ride with it for more than a mile so that is to be expected. It will be used for all of my distance rides from now on.
***TUESDAY***
Beautiful weather and my last day or two to skate transitions etc... before I have to take it more easy than I'd like to rest up for race week. No need to get hurt the week or so before a race I've spent so much time training for.
I skated Tobey Park
I skated Al Town
I got my variable speed training in on the Greenline.
My legs are worn out, and my body is ready for a Wednesday off to heal. The rest of this week will be challenge after challenge as I go into the four day rest going headed to race day. Talk to y'all at the end of the week.
