Circumnavigated Jordan Lake today. 42 miles at a personal record time. It's not a race but it is nice to see that I am improving! I was heading out for a 50 miler but was gassed at mile 40. There were lots of hills. I didn't realize Jordan lake was in a valley. I guess it makes sense considering it was one of those displaced towns, vacated and turned into a reservoir. I have a sponsor who is hooking me up with a road bike. From what everyone is telling me, it is going to make a HUGE difference. Jeff Mesner, from World Team Sports mentioned that training on a converted mountain bike is like training for a marathon wearing ankle weights. I hope he is right!
