Today my lovely wife and I along with a few friends went for a long ride on the Cherry Creek bike trail through downtown Denver to Cherry Creek Reservoir. The trails and the reservoir were pretty busy (we didn't expect anything less on Labor Day weekend) so we took our time and had a relaxing ride.
Our ride wasn't really a training ride, I think we rode around 40 miles but at a nice and slow pace. Even though I wasn't pushing it hard, I still got a lot of saddle time which is one of my major concerns for Ironman.
I know I can ride 112 miles, but the key will be riding 112 miles and staying relaxed enough to run the marathon afterwords. As I close in on the big day, I will start picking up the pace and getting my saddle time on the same rides. Tomorrow I have a shorter ride planned up and through Windsor so I am sure I will be pushing it a little more.
