To keep things interesting, a group of us have signed up to do the Eurekan Sports Festival, a 3-day event in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This consists of a very short sprint tri on Friday afternoon, a century bike ride on Saturday and a 10K race Sunday morning. We have been incorporating long bike rides into our training plan to prepare for what I'm sure will be a very arduous ride on Saturday.
We did a 90-mile (I cut it short at 82) ride around Parkville, MO on Saturday, which was indeed arduous. It was extremely hard with really long climbs and warm temps. I had plenty of time to feel sorry for myself! But, at the same time, I had a great feeling of accomplishment for being able to suffer through it. I am still somewhat apprehensive about what to expect in Arkansas. Having been to that area many times, I know it will be hard...
But, it will be fun. When it's over. :)
