50+ miles and 50+ mph

Today was a good day. I rode for the first time since my triathlon last Sunday. There were two memorable things today. I rode over 50 miles. My cycling computer was acting funny and it didn't start working until we were about 50 minutes into the ride. After that, we had ridden about 40 miles. So, overall, we rode over 50 miles. Also, I send a new personal speed record. I hit 50.5mph going down a hill today. It was freaking scary as hell yet exhilarating at the same time. My last speed record was 43.2mph so this is quite a jump. I don't know if I ever want to do it again.

On a side note, I hurt my foot. I don't know whether it was from my triathlon with a time of 2:24:56 or the fact that I went drunken dancing for 7 hours that night, I hurt my foot. It appears that I have an inflamed peroneus tendon in my foot. I'm in a boot which won't be off for about 2 weeks. We will see if I can run for America's triathlon in 4 weeks.
