The Suncoast Trail is a beautiful place. 2 friends on bikes enjoying nature & an unual breeze in August. i'm suprised to say i think i'm comfortable with my clips already. still alittle confused about what gear i should be in. Teresa tried to help me figure it out by getting on my bike. i now have a memory that brings a smile to my face. her knees were close to her chin. i'm such a midget.
we started off around 14-15 mph which felt comfortable. nearing 20-21 mph i was panting. we did 3 sprints and took it to 20-24 for a small stretch which gave me a good idea of what it felt like to do a descent "race pace". we rode about 13 miles in about an hour.
after our ride we got off our bikes and decided to run to get a feel for what legs feel like after a ride. Teresa had her helmet off, tri-shoes off and running shoes on before i even grabbed my bag with my gear in it. she has mastered transition!!! my legs were so heavy after being on the bike. funny thing about a run after biking is your pace is naturally alot faster than when only running. we were at an 8:30 pace and it felt like a 10. i like that!!!
