Today I road the same ride I did last weekend, with a small tweak and ended up a mile further (31.41 miles; more elevation, 3681 feet - and shaved off nearly 20 minutes! My time was 3:41 with an elapsed time of 3:42. 12 minutes for food breaks - much better than last week of around 40 minutes. It was a beautiful day and I had fun and felt strong and pushed harder than last week. Getting used to my new 29er bike on the downhill and off-camber turns, etc. My max speed was 40.6 (flying down Westridge black top) lol
Lou, my coach is on her way to La Ruta for her four-day endurance race! If I weren't so old, I would dream of doing what she is doing! But, for now, I am excited to report that training is fun and pays off when you listen to the pros!
Looking forward to the day I kick out 10,000 feet of climbing in a day!
Thank you to my friends and family for supporitng me.
I sure never dreamed I would be crazy enough to do this -- but you all know I am crazy!
Tomorrow is a two - hour recovery ride.
Night
