It Felt Good

...to ride last Sunday. In fact it felt good to train all week and not do a weight routine. I got in many rides, decent Spin workouts and logged a 45+ mile ride on Sunday. I felt all excited Saturday night and was ready to head out -- might have been the wine though.

Sunday when I started it was about 78º. I had a great tailwind for the first half -- meaning a headwind the second half. I was feeling pretty spanky about mile 40 and confident that I had an appropriate fitness level to ride the Riverlution. But about then Mother Nature cranked the heat up to about 93º and it zapped much of my enthusiasm and energy. I was well hydrated this time (four bottles and one stop for more fluids) plus some Sport Beans meant I could finish my goal mileage.

Looking forward to next Sunday and pressing further.
