Okay, so today was a 3.5 - 4.5 hour bike ride followed by a 30 minute run...you'd think I could handle it right? You'd be wrong! By the two hour mark I had ridden against a head wind the whole time, sweated in 90 degree heat and hit every red light along the way. I was so frustrated that I actually had to get off my bike and walk around for a little bit. I made a decision at around mile 35 (the ride was 56 miles) that I would take a different route home because it lacked what was ruining my ride--traffic signals! The trade-off was that there were two pretty decent size hills that I would have to climb first; and I was so happy that I chose that route! The last 20 or so miles was enjoyable and fast. When I got home I threw on my running gear and ran out the door for my 30 minute run. It was easier than I thought it would be, but when I got home I had to pour a bottle of water over my head and lay under the ceiling fan for about 15 minutes!
Here's my thought for today: BUY NEW BIKE SHORTS IMMEDIATELY!
