Great workout!
Yeah!!! I was not excited for this workout, not going to lie. It’s one of the hardest of the cycle, both physically and mentally. 4x2miles at sub-marathon pace. Good thing I had recruited Pat (bike) and Craig (running) to help, and Craig had recruited Anders (running) to run part of it with us. What? 3…
