So, it's been a little exhausting.
Yesterday was a long ride. I did the first hour and half with Steve, we just rode the bike path (along with every person in the Sacramento area) and then I was going to do the airport loop (which, yes, does loop around the airport). It was a little windy and rough on the way out, but once I turned in the loop it was nice to have the wind at my back coming in. That combined with 2 water bottles, 1 bottle of Gu2O, 2 bars and 1 gel made sure that I didn't bonk and felt good. So when I got to the turn-off to go home I was only really at 3:45, so instead of just riding back out and back again I decided to loop through Sac State again. Which did mean that I did the bike path between Sac State and my house 3 times, but at least I didn't do it 4.
Ended up being 65 miles, just over 4 hours, 1520kJ. This is in sharp contrast to my 58 mile ride 2 weeks ago, where I almost needed to go to sleep on the side of the road.
This was my ride:
No, I didn't actually bike through the river; there's a bike path there.
Friday evening I went to Masters and apparently Friday is the day that all the fast people go. So it was 10 guys i the fast lanes and me swimming in a lane by myself. It was a series of free sets and the coach was just, 'so, kelly, why don't you do it like 10 seconds slower and take off a 50y'. and then there would be times where they were all waiting for their interval and I would have to go and he'd be like, 'OK, everyone cheer Kelly now.' awesome and not wierd at all.
Today I tried to do some speed running. Since there wasn't a soccer game I figured it'd be good. It was rough.
All in all, an awesome week. Though since I don't have a job now what with the magazine going under because the woman is insane, I may have ALOT of time to train soon.
