Anyway, the HIP (Half Iron (distance training) program) group decided to tag along on a ride in Cambridge, MD for the Eagleman 70.3 bike course. My last 2 rides were around 30 miles but hilly so I hoped 56 and flat would be okay. And it was!!! I was so happy I made the decision to stick to 56 miles. I almost dropped to the 37 option because it was so incredibly windy. I mean white caps on the water, am worried about being blown over, windy. But, it wasn't too bad, the entire time.
And the best part, the people I rode with.
There were 5 of us who broke off to our own pace and I definitely went harder than I would have by my self. At times it was tough to keep up, but overall, it was good to push my self. Also, we matched. I mean, really matched. All in DC Tri jerseys, black shorts, and pink accessories. I guess we were a site turning corners in our pace line :-) Karen posted this an the quote was "Mother's Day ride in Cambridge...the ride isn't official without a Facebook foto. J and S changed before we took this, but during the ride we all 5 had on the same outfit."And the worst part - applying spay sunblock in the wind. I will leave it at that...
OH, I almost forgot - a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Janel for her LONGEST RIDE EVER!! WOOT!!! You Rock!!

I hope the guys weren't wearing pink.
We were wearing the tri club jerseys - and pick accessories. 2 girls had pink jackets around their waists (it was cold when we started), 2 of us had pink water bottles, and the other one had something pink.
I can only hope my next 56 mile ride doesn't feel as long!
(Although Jeanne deserves a gold medal for going from a 30 mile ride as her longest to an unintended 67 mile ride!)
