After the swim, Chris V from Element and Dina A from DMA Nutrition made sure everyone was set for the ride. We had around 40-50 riders of all abilities set and ready to go. We headed out along the lake front out to Verona. About 5 miles into the ride is when the fun started, flat tires, tire punctures and a couple spills later, the group was split up. Chris from Element did a GREAT job in the SAG vehicle, getting everyone back on the road and rolling again.
I ended up at the back of the ride to make sure everyone had their tires fixed (yes, there were that many that Chris couldn't get them all) and had a great time riding the rest of the way out to Verona with Jason. We got to Firemans park (the clouds had gone away and the sun was out in full force) and met up with another group of riders and took off onto the loop.
Going through the loop, we picked up a few riders along the way until we go to Coffee shop outside of Cross Plains where we linked up with another small group of riders. We headed off to attack the hills (the 3-sisters) and had a great rest of the day. Jeff, Christine, Christina, Jason, Joe, Andrea... you guys are rock stars, I had a blast riding with you!
Once we got back to Madison, the group transitioned into the run to cap off the day of training. After the tranistion run, everyone headed back to the hotel to get cleaned up and off to dinner.
We reconviened at 7PM at the Great Dane in Fitchburg for dinner, enjoyed some great company and a couple question and answer sessions from Don with Mona Vie, Andrea with Swim Across America and Dina with sports nutrition.
