Saturday was planned on being a long and slow team ride. We accomplished half of that.
It ended up being quite a bit faster than I planned.
Ride – 112 miles. Home, Snohomish, Monroe and back home.
Bike – Flyte SRS2 50-34 x 11-21 Ksyrium SL wheels.
Breakfast – 2 eggs, pasta and cottage cheese
Ride Food – 1 large and 1 small bottle of HEED, 1 snickers bar and half a can of coke
Stats – 164 pounds, resting HR 46, max HR 199
I was only in serious trouble once as we road up High Bridge. My body felt slow and weak and I couldn’t get it kicked over to keep up with Greg. Thankfully Jeff D was in a similar state and we traded pulls. Encouraging words go really far when your tongue is dragging on your front wheel.
We stopped off at a gas station and I ate the rest of my snickers and had some chugs of Greg’s coke and we headed home. I started to get a little cross eyed in Fremont but I managed to survive.
That is my kind of breakfast before race or super long ride ( except for the eggs, just pasta and some cheese)!
your body is in shock from such a big breakfast no doubt!
