Mountain Bikin'

We had a great ride this morning on the Campbell Mesa and Walnut Canyon trails north of Flagstaff. It was windy and cool - very invigorating. Ryan had a flat so we got to try out our patch kit.

Training Run

Ryan and I went for a training ride this past Saturday in preparation for the Anthem Sprint Triathlon. We followed the same 4 mile loop that will be used in the race. It starts out going up hill for a mile or so from the Community Center on Anthem Way to Daisy Mountain Road. Then we head down hill for an little over a mile to Dedication. This was our fastest part, Ryan was able to go over 21 miles an hour here - pretty speedy!


Next, we zig-zagged back through the neighborhood to the Community Center. We did 3 loops for a total of just over 12 miles. Our goal for the race is to finish in an hour or less. Saturday we did 1 hour and 6 minutes - pretty good for our first time. We will work on it some more the next few weeks to see how fast we can go. Afterward we enjoyed a cold drink from the Fry's Market. Ryan had an interesting and tasty Acai-berry drink.
