Steel sharpens steel

The great thing about training in a group is the ability to build on each other's motivation. Went down to the strand which is a flat and windy stretch on Coronado with Kebby, Brit, Steph and their friend Kellan.

What could have been a very weak workout grew into a strong day. We did a couple of six mile race pace trips up and down the strand to start. After about 25 miles of riding rather than head to the taco shop, we decided to do a one mile transition run. About a quarter of the way into the run, I realized we were popping along at a good clip. We were going up hill and hit the turn around at 3:47. Since it was down hill on the way back to the car, we decided to up the pace. Finished the mile at 7:03.

When we got home, Kebby, Steph and I did a good ab session. I'm hoping I can ad abs to the end of every workout now.

Decent start to the new year!
