This morning we woke up at 4:30 and Ben and I met Craig and Breanna out at the reservoir for a bike ride. We planned on doing 2.5 hours on the bike, and I was hoping to get 40 miles in...but since I'm slower than the others, I mostly rode by myself. I ended up with my 40 miles in 2:37:54, and was happy to be feeling well, so I jumped in the lake for a swim right after the ride. I had gone about 1/4 mile when the headache started, so I headed back to shore before it got too bad. I swam a half mile, then sat in the car while the others finished their run/swim. Luckily, it wasn't as bad a headache as it could have been, and after a couple of hours, I was eating a huge hamburger at Carl's Junior feeling ALMOST as good as new! I was really grateful to get a good ride in, and a little bit of open water swimming done. It's been a good day. :D |
