Liz and I spent this last week finishing our prep for our first 70.3 race (Kinetic Half) of the year next weekend at Lake Anna in VA. Between both of our schedules, we haven't had the chance to do a lot of workouts together but Saturday was free so we were determined to get out for a long ride. We decided on Friday night - over pizza and wine :) - that we'd head out to Shenandoah Valley and bike Skyline Drive...gorgeous scenery and supposedly a fairly hilly ride. We definitely didn't realize how hilly it would be. I've included the Garmin date from our ride so you can see the stats but we did a 40 mile out-and-back that was pretty much uphill for the entire first half (it made getting back to the car really quick). Hopefully this will make the race course feel like a breeze.

We have a few pictures from the ride but I'll hold off and let Liz post 'em. We got some new gear that we tried out for the first time so she should be posting soon...
