No rain today. Rode my 15 hours in an hour, but legs felt like lead, despite my speed. Will ride another hour tomorrow tomorrow and then 50 on Sat and Sunday. Leave Monday for Italy. Arrive on Tuesday and ride on Wednesday. I am always superstitious about riding the day of my flight when I am going biking. Why tempt fate? I could ride an hour that morning on my spare bike (the good one will be packed), but probably will not. The two days off will be fine.
Weighed myself this morning and am done to 158, and 8% body fat. That's where I should be. But it took one way over the top week to achieve it.

Welcome!
Welcome to my daily blog about me exercising. Sounds exciting? Not. But if you are a FOD (Friend of Doug) or looking for a virtual workout bud, read on. Throughout the year I hope to ride in RAGBRAI as well as in Italy. I have ridden in Italy the past three years and done the RAGBRAI once, as well as the Ride The Rockies 3 times. Also the NY Marathon three times. And I bill myself as the world's slowest triathlete. Truly! Hard to find anyone who trains regularly who is slower than I am! No brag. Just fact. Enjoy.
