Wow ...

Last Sunday (March 2nd) was the LR Marathon (13.1 for me) and then that was followed by snow on Tuesday and Friday.  But by Sunday (March 9th) afternoon the roads were clear and the temperature was in the 50's.  So we (Jo, Jerry, Donna, Liz & I) met at Two Rivers Park (Map Link , Link to Two Rivers Park info) for a Ride around Roland followed by a run.

After some JRA (Just Riding Along) to Roland, Liz and Donna decided to ride up Wye Mtn.  Jo, Jerry, & I did some Time Trial efforts on the 8 mile loop around Roland.  I took the front on the first 8 mile loop and then Jo took the front on the second loop.  (We had about 30 motorcycles blow past us on the second loop ... one of them did a "wheelie" for me when I pulled out my camera).

We then headed back to Two Rivers Park for the "much anticipated" run.  The ride ended up with 47 miles and then we followed that up with a 5K run.

You got to love it when you have friends to join you while you are having so much fun.  The ride was pretty good ... and the run was a little better ... still behind where I was last year 3 1/2 months before the Ironman.  Hopefully when the weather warms up ... I will make up some of the difference ...
