Brick Oven - Bike Leg
Bike leg of my brick workout. I call it a Brick Oven because of the 91F heat. That might not sound hot to people working out in Iraq or Texas… but for us Seattlites… that is HOT!
Goal of the workout was to do a long ride at Z1/Z2 and then hit a long run. The ride was great, I felt comfortable and on a good pace. I did have 2 off clock stops, which made this ride easier (especially considering the heat).
First I stopped at my friend Dave’s house to pick up a prototype of some Sweat365 embroidered hats he had made for me. They look nice.
Then about a mile later I stopped at “Everyday Athlete” a cool local independent running, cycling, swimming, triathlon store that sponsors the Swim Across Lake Washington swim next weekend. My plan was to register for the swim, but I didn’t realize they only take cash for race registration. And I didn’t have that much cash on me.
Here’s a break down of the ride.
- Leg 1: 17.8 Miles - 59:52 - 17.84mph - 141 avg - My home to Dave’s house. Two big climbs - all street riding.
- Leg 2: 18.6 miles - 1:02:34 - 17.84 mph - 134 avg - Dave’s house to Renton Airport. Several medium climbs - all street riding - some stop/go traffic in down town Bellevue.
- Leg 3: 14.8 miles - 50:02 - 17.75 mph - 139 avg - Renton Airpot to Home. Medium/long climbs - all street riding.
