Feelin' good

Did an hour and thirty minute bike ride today - my longest on-road cycling to date. Imagine my surprise when I scrolled through the bike computer and saw that I had achieved 15.8 miles an hour into the ride (my norm is usually no more than 14 miles). Ended the ride with a solid 22.3 miles, and a very sore tooshie! I MUST invest in some cycling shorts - the ultra thin and non-padded running shorts just aren't cutting it. Felt pretty good throughout, but the shoulders and upper back got a little stiff - I'm guessing that's just the nature of the beast. May end up getting re-fitted for my bike soon just to make sure that everything is in order. Can't imagine doing a half or full Ironman with shoulders and neck feeling like that. Or maybe it's something I just need to get used to? Tomorrow's agenda: a 1300m swim.
