DAY 7:

26 mile Road Ride up Mt Lemon Our Instructions from YogaSlackers offical trainer Andy Magness

Bike (1:30) - "do this on your climb up lemmon - the first time. 30 min 'WU'. make sure you're on the hill. pyramid - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 min WI all w/ 3 min RI. 11 min easy (this is the 1:30) then get back up to whatever pace you want and regroup if you're ahead and want to ride together."

The 3 and 4 min ones were the worst because of where we were on the Mtn. We sprinted from Mile 8 to mile 14. I had some stomach problems and lost jason at windy point mile 15 Chelsy zoomed by me at mile 18 and handed me some much needed electrolyts I felt much better but I had to slow my pace for my stomach to recover and my legs cooled down and turned to lead I had to use everything I had to keep it above 5mph. I avg 10mph for 15 miles and 6 for the last 10 to the top. Check out the lone Purple glove I found on the way up:)
