First really long ride is in the books

After picking up a trainer this week, I did a couple short (hour-ish) rides in the house, with the hope of getting a weekend long ride in.   Rode the San Gabriel River Trail 35 miles up to the top of the Santa Fe Dam, ate my Clif Bar, and rode home.  Took me a hair over 4 hours averaging 17.2 mph.   I probably could have gone faster if not for the Santa Anas that started blowing.  I realize that I'm just going to have to get used to doing these long rides....but so far they are definitely my least favorite part of training,  I just don't like having to spend that much time on the bike.

All in all it was a pretty good training week considering my hurt back the first few days.

Week totals:
Swim:   4500 yards
Bike: 110 miles
Run:  10
