Parked the car in a 'really good ;o) ' spot ! Headed down to waterfront park and watched the sufferfest begin for the Great Floridian and Florida Challenge.
An interesting video to check out if you have never seen what a 'wetsuit stripper' does on the swim to bike exit..hey ! don't get all excited nothing too kinky (although I was secretly hoping that a 'mishap' would happen lol)
Here is a picture one of the spectators who came to cheer their participant on.
At one point we decided to head back to the car and start our ride on the trail, as we approached the spot where we parked the car we saw a commotion.. they were towing cars !! And had the car who had parked in front of us already on the tow truck ! Yikes ! Penny ran up and at the last minute was able to save her car from being towed. Boy would that have been an expensive parking fee.
Started our ride from Waterfront Park to Killayney which was about 8 miles one way keeping the heart rate below 135 was really a challenge at one point I wondered whether I could still balance on the bike at that low speed ! I never worked out at that range and there were very slight hills on that portion of the trail that made the heart rate creep up a bit. A cyclist in front of us saw a bobcat I have never seen one yet. Overall it was a great ride and I was tired, came home and took a 3 hour nap.
Stats:
16 miles
average speed 11 mph !!!!!
average heart rate: 125
max heart rate: 204 --- not true must have crossed some power lines.
Time in Zone ( between 118 and 135 :)
In the evening we went to pick up Stephanie from the airport, I was really excited since I had not seen her in 2 years and we had a lot of catching up to do. From the airport directly headed to the Fundraising party for my relay team (Breast Friends) for the Relay for Life which I am raising funds for. Won an Entertainment book, a Tijuana Flats gift certificate and a Gift certificate from a nail place in the drawing. Did not get that lucky with the Chinese auction.. was trying to get the doggy bag.

Yeap, my Jeep (plus 2 bikes) were almost taken away. I was actually not concern about the expensive tickets (parking violation plus towing fees). My thought was "OH no, if they town my Jeep we would not have been able to ride" OH no, If they took our bikes away, I hope they do not damage them" Thank GOD for the car parked in front of my Jeep that delay the cops from taking mine. It was a great day after all!!
