Just popping into say hello…I’m supposed to cross train today so hopefully I’ll get a ride in this evening.
My marathon is Sunday. I’m nervous and excited. Hoping to PR and really hoping to qualify for Boston- although everything will have to go perfectly for that to happen.
@wendsg sounds like you are getting a lot of swim and bike in too. Remind me- have you picked your triathlon yet? You will do great.3 -
@SavageMrsMoose best of luck on your marathon! I know you'll do great. Fingers crossed for your qualification!! And I've decided that in 2028, I'll be doing the Chattanooga Ironman. It's within a couple days drive of here, I have a camper to rest in pre-race, and the swim is very beginner friendly. The ride has a couple of sharp climbs (no more than 3/4 miles long at worst, and I'll be riding my carbon fiber bike for better climbing performance), and the run has less than 1,500 feet of gain over all 26.2 miles. I think I have the best chance of finishing on that course. After all, my goal isn't to race (hence no renting a tri-bike), it's to finish within the time limitation.
Once again, forgot to log yesterday's, which was an assault on the virtual slopes of Ventoux. Brutal climb. Today was a stage of the Tour de Zwift in virtual Scotland.
Ride 1 - 27.01 miles <- yesterday’s that I forgot to log
Ride 2 - 30.01 miles

@billbiggers06 Welcome back!! It's so good to see you! Great climbing, BTW.
Today was a swim day, and the weather was decent enough to ride the gravel bike there and back again (though the trail is a muddy sack of poo). Then had to get in a decent ride... which ended up being more than decent, because I forgot what a bear the Col d'Aspin is.
Ride 1 - 1.72 <- tiny ride to the local pool
Ride 2 - 1.53 <- tiny ride back (with apparently .2 miles of GPS kerfuffle, but as you know if it ain't on Strava it never happened)
Ride 3 - 22.00 miles <- death on the virtual Col d’Aspin at 125% actual gradient

@SavageMrsMoose - Good Luck for the marathon on Sunday!1 -
Hello, @wends I can’t keep away!
Shortish ride today, but it was 38° and dark, so I give myself extra points. It’s good to have a riding buddy to keep you accountable.

Good morning everyone. Just wanted to share…
I DID IT !!!
I needed to run my marathon in 4:05 to qualify for Boston. I finished in 4:04:30! I feel like I’m dreaming!
Going to have a rest day today and an easy bike tomorrow. Going to hit the pause button on running for a few days at least.
Stay warm everyone who’s biking outside!2 -
@SavageMrsMoose wowww! Great, congratulations!2

@SavageMrsMoose Holy smokes!!! That is incredible!! Great job!
Went camping, but still went riding.
Ride 1 - 10.04 <- makeup ride for the 12th, because that day was spent preparing for the trip
Ride 2 - 10.06 <- riding out where we were camping
Ride 3 - 11.00 miles <- back from camping, 125% actual gradient on a virtual hill
Ride 4 - 12.01 miles <- today, not enough time for an epic climb, 50% actual gradient on a virtual hill to make it swift as possible

102 miles and 6000’ for the year. Felt strong today; eating leaner and cleaner maybe paying off.
Morning in Woodside, California2 -

I think it's been cat week on MFP... the amount of folks I've seen posting their cat pics on the forums this past week has been higher than usual. LOL. Cute!

@billbiggers06 Such a cutie!!
Forgot to record yesterday's ride, so capturing it in today's entry. Yesterday was a Zwift meetup with a bunch of friends. Today was a Zwift solo ride, featuring a climb portal assault that left my legs toasted (125% actual gradient is no joke).
Ride 1 - 26.00 miles <- yesterday’s meetup
Ride 2 - 14.00 miles <- today’s grind up a virtual mountain
