With the cancellation of the Patriot HIM I had the whole weekend free to do as I pleased with my workouts. Thanks to my friend Beth for the guest pass to do the 2.5 mile swim in the ACAC 50 meter pool. Swimming long in a 50 meter pool is infinitely better than in a 25 yd pool. It just seems so much easier when you don't have to make all those turns. Got that done and felt GREAT afterwards!!!!!!
Then it was off to Performance bike to pick up some new sunglasses and pedals. I love new gear, and as expensive as this crazy sport is, it's so much fun to get new stuff. Got the pedals and cleats installed just in time for the rain to start. Oh well.
Saturday morning I opted to skip the group workout, not really much point as I wasn't running anyway, and I slept in. Hopped on the trainer I had set-up in my garage around 10 AM and watched the rain fall. I must have sweat out 10 pints it was so damn humid. Then I jumped in the car heading to the gym for 2 hours of elliptical and treadmill.
Sunday morning was an absolutely gorgeous day for an easy solo ride through Goochland to cap the weekend. Overall a solid few days of training.

We missed you on Sat, but all you could have done was keep Charlotte company on the darn elliptical/treadmill. Good job getting it all in!
Sounds like you had a good workout weekend none-the-less, although it's still crappy that the race was canceled!
Yay for new gear!!!
