HELLLO KATIE!You can call me toaster strudel! It sounds much cuter than burnt toast, but both apply equally as well. I am burnt! But I did cross another landmark today...92 miles on the bike in 5 hours and 20 minutes. I then followed that up with a 20 minute transition run.
The run felt much better this week after the bike than last week. I also think I got a good feeling for the foods (how much I need to carry). The worst part was how sore my neck got. My legs were pretty tired at the end.
So far, 3 hours post (ride & run), and no headache. Tried salt pills (1 at mile 80, 1 at mile 90) and they seemed to help. Still not sure about the honey goo's, as they may aggravate my stomach. The weather was beautiful, and although I sunscreened up this morning.....I forgot to put it on the back of my hands!! Oops! I guess I was caught red handed! (Oh Boy!).
I just tried to nap but my brain is racing....I dont' know why? I am really tired but couldn't fall asleep. I think I'll go get some food.
Stace, it was so much fun riding with/seeing you yesterday. Let's pick another date now to get together...even if only for a bit!Len, thanks for coming "salsa dancing" with us last night. You are so much fun! Wish you lived closer!
B, Good Luck on Finals! You'll do AWESOME! I Love You!
HAPPPPPYYYY BIRTHDAY TO MICHELLE AND STACIE!!!
And now off to aloe my hands....
Katie
Update: I had intended to join our IronGal on her latest long training ride, but a partial tear to the gastrocnemius muscle prevented me from saving Katie from the sheer boredom of riding alone. Oude Granny is getting old (quite literally as I also celebrated a birthday last week). For those in the Barrington/Lake Zurich area, we'll try to schedule some group rides once I'm up and going.
From this Friday's On Tap..., the original limited opening date for the movie, The Flying Scotsman, was pushed back to May 4th. My apologies to any and all of you who have wanted to see the film, and were thrown off by the misinformation from this blog.
