Here's the fun monster hill in the middle of this run. Yeah, that's the top of it off there in the distance.

great Easy luncher with some hills ... 6 mi 00:58 09:42 pace
A mere 25 degrees warmer than my run on Tuesday. And I loved every minute of it! Was actually surprised that the heat didn't get to me more on the hills.

Been a while since I had fun with Chrissie at lunch. Did the Audio Fuel Chrissie Wellington Ride Harder 1. Up and down some ladder intervals which made the time fly by.

First, you did great. Second, many of us say around mile 22 that we will not to this again, only to do it again. Heck, I've done well over 120 (not to mention dozens of ultras) and can still find myself saying, "this is the last." Lastly, just take time to recover and get back into your training for your next awesome accomplishment.

Karen, they were Zensah. I got them on-line. I don't remember the site anymore. I just did a search to find the best price. They were comfortable for the whole time although because of the calf cramps I'm wondering if it was a good idea or not? I had worn them for 3 or 4 of my 20 milers and never had an issue.

I bought Zensah ones on Amazon, but they only came in packs of one so if you want two you need to order two packs.

Well, you got your first tumble out of the way! It happens to every rider at some point or another. Great ride otherwise!

Glad you are okay with the crash incident today Jill. Live and Learn, so spot on my friend!

Yikes... glad you can look at it as something humorous! I remember how ridiculous I felt the first time the chain came off while I was clipped in AND was up out of the saddle powering down and down I went. It was funnier than anything else. But that was MANY years ago ;-)
