December 1, 2014 EmilyLeave a comment

Oh Saturday. My long ride day. Why don’t I just wake up early when I have no idea what I am doing and get on my bike and finish my ride? Well I got up a little later in the morning and hung around with my ride looming over my head. A little after 12:00… Continue reading Final Workouts of a Tough Week

Trying to catch up!

November 24, 2014 EmilyLeave a comment

Unfortunately I let another week slip by without writing detailed posts about my workouts. I felt like I was playing catch up all last week. We arrived back in Syracuse late on Tuesday night and that threw me off all week. I asked my boss for Friday off because I just couldn’t focus and was… Continue reading Trying to catch up!

Ironman Training Day #5 & #6

November 9, 2014November 9, 2014 EmilyLeave a comment

I woke up at 5:30 a.m. on Friday morning. It actually didn’t feel that bad. I pressed snooze a few times but was ready to go on my bike at 5:59 a.m. I just had to ride for an hour which seemed like nothing after the 1:30 ride the previous night. I honestly just couldn’t… Continue reading Ironman Training Day #5 & #6
