Road Bike 1:22:00 [3] 22.0 mi (16.1 mph)
Warm-up
Then: 3 x 10 second sprints with 3-5 min recovery in between
5 x 3 minutes hard with 3 minutes rest in between
3 x 10 second sprints with 3-5 min recovery in between
Rode remainder back at a Z2 effort after recovering. Went into the wind on the way out, and it was nice to see the speed much higher on the way back.
I think I need to get new shoe covers for my road shoes because I had a hard time getting into my pedals - the cover got under the front of the cleat and blocked it from clicking in. Or maybe I just need real winter riding shoes... though they would definitely be mtn bike shoes rather than road shoes.
Really, I don't like riding my bike when it's cold. Running, great. XC skiing, even better. Biking, meh. Maybe if I got a fat bike and only rode trails?

Run 53:14 [3] 5.0 mi (10:39 / mi)
I was supposed to do this yesterday, but I felt like crap so I left work early and went to bed early. Then, I slept for 11 hours. Guess I needed it.
Ran at Pine Haven on the trails. No foot pod, so estimated distance from phone. 10 minute warm-up. Then, ran the hill loop twice with the second two hills an extra time. First hill was SLIPPERY anyway! I couldn't even run it fast because I kept slipping back. Ran it back and hit the hills fast on the way back to the car. Calves were really feeling it today by the end for some reason. Maybe because I was trying to shorten the stride and increase cadence??
