It was recovery week for the Vineman team, so we did the Del Dios ride with the Wildflower Olympic team. Goal was about 26 miles on the bike and then follow with a 30-45 minute run. We started out at Solona Beach at Fletcher cove and followed S6 east to Rancho Road. There was a big group of us to start but we soon bunched up into pace groups. The ride was a bit hilly with a nice climb up towards the Lake Hodges dam and it was a pleasant day with just the right amount of breeze to keep the heat off.
Conditioning my body to run after a long ride is still something that I struggle with, even after training a number of seasons for triathlons. It does get easier, but it still takes time for me to get get adjusted mentally and physically. If I am not too tired from the bike, I seem to transition into my run pace after about a mile, but when I get beat up on a ride, my struggle seems to go on for many miles.
I took a number of pictures, but I did not get them uploaded yet due to lack of time.
