The work is done, now its maintenance

I got up this morning at 5 am and did my last long ride, as prescribed by the one and only Mr. Cane.

1 hour easy
2 hours at IM race speed (i might have pushed it a little harder...)
1 hour easy

So that's it.  There's nothing I can do to really improve my fitness in the next two weeks, but there's a lot I can do to screw it up, so I've gotta be careful.

Its rides like today that make me feel like I'd be a much better cyclist than I am a runner.  I always feel like I can push and sustain much harder and longer on the bike than I can when running, which I guess makes ultra cycling a potentially scary combo for me.  Anyway, its just interesting to see what I can sustain, especially seeing as how I'm not even in cycling shape, I'm in decent triathlon shape.  Makes me wonder what I could do if I set aside some time and concentrated on the bike.

but for now...IMTX, we have a date...
