saturday was a 50 mile ride around the dam....we started at south mopac/veloway area and wound our way around 71, 620, lakeway...2222...i hit a new speed of 41.9 on the hill on 2222...fun...then on to 360, sw. parkway...back through circle c and to the cars...my legs were tired...kind of jelly like...but overall i really enjoyed the ride...got to hang with jeremiah as we were the only folks doing 50...there were others doing more but they left earlier...my nutrition on the bike was not great...i brought 200 cal an hour for a total of 600...ate about half of it...i think i need things that are easier to eat...i was trying a few new things but need to go back to the pbj, luna gummies and cut up bars...maybe two bottles of gatorade...and buy another water on the route...
home to hang out with kelly who was in town from San Fran for the weekend...it has been way too long...i am really bad about making time to travel and see people...i get caught up in my little world here with school and training...i need to try harder...
went down town to watch road bikes go fast...it was cool to see pro cycling like that...we didn't stay for the whole thing...afternoon beer and bbq make for sleepy me...but got to see, ed, ros, carolyn, john and jeremiah for a minute...
sunday morning 9 miles on town lake...got off to a bit of a late start waiting for coach logan...but he was a no show...there weren't that many people but i got in stride with mike(?) and suzanne...i haven't run with either of them...but it was nice...suzanne peeled off at the lamar bridge and mike(matt? maybe...argh...i still am learning) and i kept going to congress and back...good run...a touch on the fast side...but nice to run with someone...then i was off again to do the first street loop...averaged just under 9m miles...i was happy with that...but i could feel some signs of dehydration so i was glad to be done...
chatted with chuck and jeff in the parking lot of the high school after i was done...it is nice to see people at the trail...nice to chat about our friend...nice to know that we are all still out there getting our miles in... :)
home for breakfast and the test of the Crockpot...decided to go with "pulled chicken"...like pulled pork but better cause it's chicken...put that on ~noon for dinner at 7pm...super easy...took ~5lbs of tomatoes from our house and the farm to make sauce that simmered for the rest of the afternoon...and also made pesto to freeze...all the while diligently checking ironman.com for the latest updates on all who were racing at Coeur d'Alene...it was exciting...and everyone that i know crossed the line...good job y'all....i am so proud of you!
watched a movie that i can't remember the name of...it was good...three stars...bank robbery/crime drama with lots of famous people...was able to catch a few folks crossing the finish line live!...and then i had to cut myself off...or i would have stayed up way too late :)
