I planned a 100 mile ride today starting at 5:00, however, it felt so good to sleep-in that 5:00am came and went and by the time I got up it was almost 8:00am. Being Saturday, getting up 3 hours after you planned on really isn’t that big of a deal, so I headed out at 9:00am with the intention of riding 100 miles. Three hours into my ride (just under 60 miles) I wanted to go home (best to listen to my body), I did another 13 for a grand total of 73 miles today. Not bad really considering that my total miles for the year is 1200 miles less than last year and total was my longest ride of the season.
As I my rides get longer, I get strongee, comparing this year’s milage and averages with last year, although my total miles is less, my average ride is longer and faster. Overall I feel good about my progress and the upcoming events: the Strawberry Century and the Seattle to Portland. Both are long rides and are fun to participate in. Looking forward to my next ride.
Total Miles as of 5/31/2008: 1382.3
