Tibble Fork Canyon Ride

I did it! I made it! Hooray! I climbed 6000 feet up Tibble Fork Canyon on my bike today. But as I was running around getting ready to go work out it hit me.... No matter how hard my workouts are or how bad they kick my butt... the hardest part it getting out the door! Finding the motivation after a day of work and taking care of the kids to go exert more energy that doesn't even exist in me is more intimidating that any workout!  But I will tell you that you NEVER EVER feel worse after a workout! It is the only time in my day that I get to go relieve stress and unwind.  Just me and the road, beautiful scenery and great music.  So that is what I did. I geared up and headed out for a 25 mile bike ride from my house to American Fork Canyon all the way to the top!  It was a beast to climb. 7 Miles straight up the mountain but the scenery was AMAZING! The leaves are changing colors and it was quiet and cool (which was good since I was sweating my guts out!)  So there you have it my workout for the day.  I also want this blog to be about you. Those who are running and or training for a marathon, 5k or triathlon. I welcome your questions about nutrition, workouts or any other questions you might have about the crazy sport of triathlons! Please tell me what you have on the map for a race! If you don't have anything on the map, hop of the computer and sign up for your first 5k... you won't regret it.  Can't wait to hear from you!   -LondonBrig
