I did it!

Today I rode my very first century ride out in the hills of Barrington, IL. I felt better then I ever thought I would. It was great! I averaged somewhere between 16 - 17 mph...not bad for some of the hills we climbed. My nutrition went really well. I had lots of continued success with coconut water and new success with Honey Stinger gu's. I was THRILLED! This was the nut for the week. We actually rode our bikes 180 miles in 5 days! Is that unbelievable or what??! My other totals for the week.. 10 miles of running and 4 miles of swimming. One more week of building before rest week. This week's nut...... LONG RUN!

A special shout out to my "carrot".... John. He is a phenomenal athlete! I can't wait to ride with him again next weekend! And then again at Ironman.
