Latigo Canyon

I finally feel like we are really training. Two weeks ago I accomplished a huge feat I had been dreading for months. I climbed Latigo Canyon! Latigo has always been this mythical thing that cyclist talk about. It is a never ending climb from pch to the top of the Santa Monica Mountains. In the past year, I must have asked Brian a dozen times if he thought I was ready for Latigo. Well, I received my workout schedule a few weeks ago and ready or not, I was going to climb it. It was just as tough as I had expected but just as rewarding as well.

This weekend will be my craziest weekend so far. Tomorrow I am doing a 45 min bike ride in a high heart rate zone, followed by a 2:30 run, followed by a long swim. Then, on Sunday we are riding 88 miles from Irvine to San Diego.

I feel like I am really in it now. I am training for a full Ironman. Ready or not, this thing is around the corner.
