we switched up the training a bit this weekend so we could hit a charity ride on sunday...so saturday was a 15 mile run...started at the rock ~7.45am and did the scenic loop first...i remember this one being really hard...but i really enjoyed it this time...had some company with cathy then, courtney and elizabeth...headed back to the trail via exposition, lab...for 2x4.1 mile loops...jeremiah and i were the only ones doing the distance...he was somewhere up ahead...did one loop with elizabeth...then one on my own...the last bit was tough..crowded trail no new scenery..and i was feeling it...but i made it through for 2h 25m of running...had a gel at 45m then another at 1h 30m probably could have used a few sips of gatorade out there at the end to get me through...
i was pretty beat the rest of the day but did get some new running shoes and the farm share...we got these really pretty orange/brown sunflowers and a cantaloupe that i think i will crack into soon...made some tasty succotash with farm okra and tomatoes and an ear of corn...yummy...
sunday was a ride up on pflugerville...benefiting a rogue coach who was killed while riding his bike...T3 decided to do this ride as a team ride and to show support to the other training programs out there...they did notice and thanked us for being there...rode ~70 miles out there...did well with the infinite one bottle doubled up with 4 scoops one with 2 scoops...seemed to get me through just fine...it was hot and a bit twilight zone-ish at the end with the people in the rear of our group getting lost somewhere out there...but they had a map...and a cell phone so that was good...came in with a ride time of just under 4h...
felt not as worn out sunday as i did saturday...but really didn't do much for the rest of the day...just cooking, cleaning, chatting, reading...relaxing...very nice...j and i cooked some indian food for dinner and started to watch a movie...i found the movie kind of blah...and the food was delicious...so off went the movie...maybe we will get a better one next time...i went to check IMLive to see how the folks were doing at IMUSA :) nice work out there everyone!
