Here is a picture that we took this morning after our ride. It was nothing unusual, for you see, Maggie gets up at 4am at least three days a week to ride (she lets me sleep in until 4:30am). This morning, for example, was an easy ride. We rode 16 miles in about 1 hour (not a fast pace for studs like us). On Sunday, for instance, we rode about 48 miles at over 19 mph pace. Of course that ride was with a local cycling club, so that helped keep the pace up.
Maggie is a very strong rider, and it is without a doubt her best leg of the triathlon. The run would probably be her best, but I think she really loves cycling, so she is putting more time into that. It's also a lot easier on the body than putting in similar hours/miles running.
She is ready for the Timex (now Nathan's) Triathlon in Tempe, AZ. I, on the other hand, am NOT ready. I have not run AT ALL, and I have swum on average about 2 times a month since I starting my "training". It's gonna be fun. I hope they have paramedics on the water.

When is the Triathalon? I will watch the news for details...no, really, good luck to both of you.
Love, Donna
It's on September 23rd. Let's hope it won't be too hot. Start time is 6:30am. This will be Bruce's premiere race. How bad will I feel if he blows me away after all the training I have done.
Oh and don't worry honey, they have the Tempe Fire Dept. on their boat as well as kayakers along the way. It's very safe.
Are those arm-floaty things allowed? If I have a heart attack they may not get to me before I sink.
There is no possible way for me to blow you away, even without the run! You will take at least (AT LEAST) 6 minutes out of me on the run.
