Marin Century -- August 5 –

Finished the Marin Century, which is a 100 mile bike course that starts and ends in San Rafael. Along the course you ride pass Tomales Bay beyond Dillion Beach east to Petaluma before heading back to San Rafael. According to my odometer I really rode 104 miles and climbed over 6,250 feet in a total time of 7 hours and 30 minutes. Yippee!!! While it wasn’t the fastest of times nor speed on the course. I finish it! Again it was a confidence builder, since Ironman’s bike course will have fewer hills, although the course will be longer. In any event, I will be thrilled if I can finish the bike course in 8 hours and 20 minutes on Ironman race day.
