Today was a real day off. I was one of more than a thousand cyclists who rode 100 kilometers and around Lancaster County, Pa. Originally, my wife and I were supposed to be part of a group of math professors from here department doing the ride. One professor was injured, her husband stayed home with her, so our group was us.
We rode a steady pace of just over 16 mph and finished the ride close to noon. We rode to and from the event so the total ride for the day was 76 miles, a new distance record for my wife.
When we were two miles from home, Annalisa said "Let's run three miles when we get back." At first I said no way, but I knew she was right, we need to practice transitions. So when we got home, I changed clothes, she just changed shoes, and we ran. We only ran two miles, mostly because I was so sore.
After the run, I did one more load of laundry and headed back to school.
