Yeah, there it is: my first back-to-back 200-mile weeks since July 18-24 and July 25-31, 2022. At this time yesterday, I wasn’t sure it was going to happen. I got rained on yesterday and decided to cut my ride short at just 9 miles. Today’s forecast was very uncertain as little pockets of rain continued to drift through our region, but by early afternoon I was confident I could bang out enough miles to reach my goal. With 30 miles today, I finished the week with a total of 206 miles in 13:20:22. That’s almost a carbon copy of last week, when I did 210 miles in 13:26:30, my highest totals this season.
When the new week begins tomorrow, I will be 27 miles away from my 500-mile goal for September, 33 miles away from another Garmin Connect badge, and 452 miles away from my 3,161-mile goal for the 2025 season. I like my chances of completing the first two. The last one will take more work than I can put out during a single week – my biggest week ever was 283 miles, September 21-27, 2020 – but I should get there by mid-October.
