So what goes through a bikers mind during a 3 and 1/2 hour ride?
10. You have got to be kidding me what happened to my cyclocomputer? Stop pedaling, adjust, nothing. Guess I will bring the garmin for mileage.
9. It's nice out. Should be a good ride.
8. Ummmmm....is that a head wind I feel? Already? Well I guess I'll get a tail wind on the way home.
7. Wonder what Chloe is doing? Wonder how much fun Jeff is having at the park all day?
6. Ugh. EWWWW. Bug in my mouth. Swish and spit it out. OUCH dragonfly to the head.
5. I'm doing good. Keep it up.
4. OMG.....a head wind home too?
3. Holy crap scare the hell out of me bikers. Sneak up on me...not nice. And yes it is hard being in farm country with head winds for the past ten miles. You two enjoy drafting off each other, you have it easy.
2. Head toward houses. Tired of smelling cows.
1. Well lets see. 4 weeks ago I did 50 miles in 4 1/2 hrs. 3 weeks ago it was 40 in 3 hrs. 2 weeks ago it was 48 in 3 1/2 hrs. And today on my own drum roll please..........57 miles in 3 1/2 hours.
Not bad. Not speedy but I'm getting there. I have tons of room for improvement that I hope will happen over the next year. But for now, after checking results from last years iron man I'm a bit on the slow side. I have no idea if I did more hills today then what I will have to do for the race. I have a feeling I did. So really I could get to an avg of 17 mph. instead of 16.2. That would put me right in the middle of the pack. Perfect.
