20 mile bike

So, I took my new ride out for its inaugural 20 miler.  Everything went great.  Since I was in VA I was going to do a 40 miler in the flat hills of Central Virginia, but the weather was pretty bad so I just did 20.  Nonetheless, it was a great ride.  I only had one problem and that was the fact that I popped my chain once. I tried to crossover gears and I caused it to pop. I'm an idiot. 

But, otherwise it was wonderful.  At on point I was near 35mph on a nice little downhill. It was awesome!!!

I've begun to focus on time and not distance anymore for my training.  I've been reading a bunch about long-distance tri training and most folks seem to recommend that for a number of reasons.  So, tmw is 50 minute run.  Tuesday is 50 minute run and 1 hour ride.

Woot!
