Brick by brick
Most training blogs I have read suggest doing a weekly brick the two months before the big day. I kind of babied out last week, but went for it today, and damn did it go!
I actually did the brick backwards because Parker really needed to get out for a run, but nonetheless everything went well. I was able to do a 2.0 mile run (slightly under the 2.9 needed for the race) followed by a full 12-mile bike ride (complete with the evil hill) in 1:11!!
My success here has done more for my confidence than anything else in the last two months have, and honestly, if I keep working hard, I may just place somewhere respectable after all!
