This is Coach Lesley, from last year's sunny , hot ride.
Well, we went to Lake Chelan to participate in the Century Challenge. a 100 mile bike ride. of course, we were only going to do 60 miles. (Coach did the 100, she's an Ironwoman , we're only Half Ironwomen) We thought it would be good to go to the hot, sunny part of the state for some warm weather training. right. Saturday morning was cloudy and cool. And then it got wet and cold. Oh, and those 60 miles. a bit of elevation was involved. You know it's going to be a hill when the signs are pointing to the ski area. That part was great. That hill was 40 minutes of climbing.
Of course, what goes up, must come down. And I'm sure you're all sick of hearing me whine about going downhill. But please, this was a winding, steep descent. In the pouring rain. Like I trust my brakes in that. and did I mention it was freezing out? Because we do not believe in riding in inclement weather, we don't have the rain gear. We've needed it several times now.
We sped back to the hotel to jump in the hot tub.
But no flat tires. Even tho I was ready !!
So, I shouldn't have dissed the Canadians regarding the World Cup, because the US played like it wasn't in it , either. PPP, pretty poor performance.
Today we watched soccer, rode the bikes indoors for 90:00, HARD. watched another soccer game , then hit the pool for a million laps.
