BTWW Day 5

Well we made it - Cold Start of the week to a warmer ending w/ possible showers later on in the day. Saved some money on gas, but put 40 bucks in last night after training in Elkhart and only got 1/2 a tank and also shelled out $525 for a brake job on all four. So I'm still most likely behind but who cares.
So yesterday after getting my 16 commuter miles in and picking up the jeep from it's brake work - I flew out to Elkhart Lake for a ride/run training session. Of course I'm a couple min late and off we go. 14.3 miles later (and my fastest mph max to date @ 43.5 mph) we're back and do a fast transaction to running shoes and off and running...2 miles after that we rest a bit. Then the group walks down to the lake and jumps in! How cool is that? Good times. My lower back did hurt pretty bad when I was finishing up the running...I think I may have been leaning back to far of something...my shin is feeling ok thankfully today...no splints.
Todays ride in numbers are about the same:
7.7 miles/25:34 min/18.1 mph ave/31.8 mph max/447 odo LeMond/206 lbs work scale
Tonight there is a BTWW bust up party down town....beer food and a movie....how cool. Hopefully it doesn't rain cause that'd suck.
Tomorrow may be ride or else crap around the house. I'm starting to think that life's to short for crap around the house but it's won't get done by itself.
Later
