2023 Cycling Challenge

@wendsg I DID get a spot in Chicago!!!! Through the lottery, not a qualifying time. But I’m getting old enough that if I have a good race in Houston in January or Chicago in October, I should qualify for the following year if I want to run again.2

@Sett2023 It absolutely will be on for 2024! Looking forward to seeing another participant.
@SavageMrsMoose Oh man, my lack of affiliation with the world of competitive marathoning is showing LOL So sorry I misunderstood! Congratulations on making it!!
Today, one ride - but it came RIGHT after an over/under threshold running workout, so my legs were already suffering by the time I got on the bike. Nngh.

@Sett2023 Welcome to the group! Some amazing athletes here! Keeps me motivated!2

WELL. Couldn't do the Zwift event I /wanted/ to do today because I don't have a steering-enabled device on my training setup, so instead I climbed a virtual mountain at 100% (real world) gradient.
It was actually... really fun. So I'm not too upset about losing out on the event. 😝

Yesterday there was a time management kerfuffle which eliminated my 2nd ride, and therefore I forgot to post. Captured yesterday's 1st ride in today's triple-threat post (2 short rides to and from the pool lol - then the real work in the virtual ride).
Ride 1 - 15.01 miles <- 12/18 virtual
Ride 2 - 2.11 miles <- 12/19 outdoors
Ride 3 - 1.75 miles <- 12/19 outdoors
Ride 4 - 33.05 miles <- 12/19 virtual

Gotta pick up the pace to finish out the 3rd run by the end of the year - fortunately, the Rapha 500 challenge starts next week! Wee!!!2 -

Well, 2023 was rough on me - but this gives me a good starting goal for 2024 (to beat 2023) but I'll hope to hit 2024 miles as I was able to do that in 2022 no problem!2 -
@ashleycarole86 Oh man, sorry 2023 didn't treat your pedaling ambitions well. But like you said, there's a positive in that for 2024!! Great job on nearly hitting a thousand miles as it is, and getting over 1450 km in the legs!
Closed out the Rapha 500 challenge today - that was brutal. And got the silliest route badge ever with a laughable 2 mile effort.

LMFAO Final ride of the year.
Yes, I'm short on run 3 by less than 32 miles. No, I'm not going to do additional milage today to make it because my legs are toast and they still have to give me a run today.

Happy New Year everyone!
Did 22.6 miles on the Peloton the last week of December as bonus miles- or in case I made a math error over 2023…
@wendsg are you going to create the group for 2024? I’ll look for a link here.
I’ll have a slow start to 2024 with the marathon on the 14th, but am excited for 2024.1 -
