I descended down the 154 this afternoon after riding up painted cave. I was following a couple of cyclists and the winds were absolutely howling. In one section the wind funnels into a narrow pass and the women ahead of me is blown off her bike onto the shoulder of the road. I slowed down and stopped. Fortunately she was a little bloody but not seriously hurt. The wind was blowing so hard at that point I could bearly stand over my bike. A truck stopped behind us and offered to drive us down. We took him up on his offer. I live to ride another day!
AM: Masters Swim- Fast 50's today. I did as many as I could fly until I cracked.
Off to the gym for some core then I embarked on my death defying bike ride.
About Me
- Stuart Sato
- Santa Barbara, CA
- I started this blog as a training log during my preparation for Ironman Canada in 2006. Check out my 2006 entries if you want to know what kind of training it takes me to gear up for an Ironman race. I swim, bike, run, race triathlons, dabble in mountain bike races, and even an occasional adventure race. I just got myself a standup paddleboard so look for me on the water. I enjoy the challenge of racing but most of all I love the slow burn of a long day training.
