Rode bike for 75 miles with Cathy, mike, mike, mica, and others. We did the Gunlock loop. We took it fairly easy. I did the wall twice for good measure!! Ran into many friends along the way, and at mile 50 when we were finishing up our ride, I ran into the triclub and joined them for my last 25 miles. While cruising down a good hill, my back tire made a 12 inch split right down the center. I heard it rip but didn't bother to find out what had happened!! I was very lucky the tube didn't pop. I rode another 12 miles before I noticed the damage. Again, very fortunate that I had a head wind and uphill at the end to keep me slower than normal.
I did a transition to run right when I arrived home. I did 5 miles just below a 8:00 pace. Felt very good... then I ate a hamburger and fry at 5 Guys.... Totally Awesome!!! |
