Today was a long bike ride. I logged about 55miles in 3hrs. I could feel the effects of my training this past week in my legs. My leg were heavy but I was able to increase my pace thru after each 8mile loop. I tried to increase my fluid intake during the bike (I think I drank 70 - 80 ozs during the ride - I mixed in to endurance gatorade w/ a sodium tablet and boy was is stout). I will continue to try and get more fluids down to determine my max I can hold. My HR avg was 115 (proof positive I didnt push myself). Afterwards I did a 15min transition run. My pace was around 8min with an HR of 139.
This afternoon I went to J&As to pickup a tp massage ball kit. It comes with a big and small roller for your legs and a massage ball for the hard to reach area. I used it tonight and I am sore now. Its a tool I have used a few times at my P/T visits. The tools really work the muscles and they help get the blood flowing. I think Amber will be wanting to use them tomorrow after her race. She has her first triathlon tomorrow and we are fired up (at least I am, she is more nervous than anything). I will post a race report for her tomorrow!!!!!
