Well, the recovery period after the last marathon is over. Time to get ready for the next challenge: the 2015 Tierra Bella Century.
I needed to make up some miles if I was to complete my virtual journey from San Jose to Cabo San Lucas, so I took advantage of my Christmas Break and hopped on my bike. I rode about 150 miles, and ran about 5.5 for good measure, and ended up hitting 1505.1 miles on 12/29/14!
Now I’m signed up for Tierra Bella and am looking forward to doing this challenge on my own. I mean, I hope to ride it with a couple of friends, but without the benefit of pace lining and having a team manager pick up all my stuff before the ride. It should be really tough: 7600′ of climbing is a lot! But hopefully, I can keep up the motivation throughout the training season and finish with a respectable time. Gotta keep running, too, so I can keep the weight down and my cardio fitness up.
