B: 151.28 mi - 10hr 48min (17,017 ft of climbing)
R: 30.84 mi - 4hr 2min
Total: 18hr 30min Skipping sessions is not a good way to get fast. Period. Nonetheless, I still ended up with two more solid (and bike heavy) weeks, despite missing a run and a swim in both weeks...but hey...life gets in the way sometimes and I wouldn't have it any other way. Plus, it's only February and I didn't miss any bikes and that's all that matters with Southern Cross coming up next weekend! I've been trying to log some hours on the mountain bike (since that is what I'll be racing on) as well as logging a jack-ton of climbing. The race is 50 miles with 6,680 feet of elevation gain, and from what I understand it's mostly on dirt/gravel. I can easily replicate that elevation gain in Birmingham over the course of a 3.5-4 hour ride, but there are not many long/sustained climbs in Birmingham to get used to some of the stuff I'll see in the north Georgia mountains. Regardless, I think I've got plenty of fitness to go hard and see what happens.
