Great group of Cactus riders today! It was a 28 mile recovery/taper ride for me. This week it’s lean protein, complex carbs, minimal alcohol and rest with short bouts of exercise in the pool and on the bike. My goal is to finish the 1.2 mile swim (under :40) and 56 mile bike (under 3:00) for a total time under 3:50. I feel like I am swimming strong so the challenge will be the 56 miles as I have not done many long rides and unsure what effect the elevation (6500ft) will have.
