Comments:
BIKE Kept cadence scrupulously up between 80 and 90. Gears low; stayed on midsized blade. Good level 2-3 workout… Felt good, though I had to stop and find my way a few times; stoplights, et al screwed me up a few times too. But overall, very fast.
RUN Felt strong at the beginning—strange after all the biking, but I felt good. Soft surfaces are SO MUCH better for me. NO calf issues. It was really an easy run just to practice transitioning…but it was good. Felt a little tired coming in—last 5 minutes when I had to run over soft sand was tougher.

But great work! Almost 3 hours, and felt good! Usual wu and cd, too
