Encinal warm up - Intervals - 21.5 miles; 2743 feet; 2.40 minutes

Today was cold and I felt tired and mentally and physically drained.   I have learned that my mental state of mind has  lot to do with my performance on the bike.  However, my coach tells me that at this point my intervals and long weekend rides are what will make a difference on race day.  She said sometimes doing training on tired legs is a good thing to learn to ride through the pain.
So I did my best.  I forgot my water bottle with my sustained energy and missed that for sure!
The first interval Doug and Derek said I took off super fast, a mistake.  Do not start too fast and blow up!
Last night and tonight I did 100 sit ups each night, along with stretching and light weights.

Not easy finding time in the day.  Tomorrow is a court appearance in Ventura and leaving at 6:00 a.m. -
I still have to find time for work and business, but not easy!  Friends of Bill, most important to stay in contact with!

As long as I give it all I have, I can ask nothing else of myself.

Oh, and I also registered and booked my room for the Solvang Century on March 10th - 100 miles!
Yippie - that will be a blast!

Blessings,
Cheryl
