lunch was especially satisfying because sarah and i were apparently not turtle-riding today (we booked it!) we caught up with the fastest cruising riders at lunch and were one of the first girls to arrive (pat on the back... and props to being baller riders today)
it all kind of went down hill after lunch because hills started to come hill after hill without much break. the combination of the winds, the heat, and the little momentum from hill to hill... my body was fading.
sarah and i stopped by a foodmart with karen- the birthday girl for some delicious, cold ice cream for a breather (with only 13 miles left i thought i could get to the boys and girls club in a jiffy but instead i needed to stop quite a few times for some breathers) today was definitely tough on the knees (what started off as a great morning for the knee...turned into painful climbs for the knee)
tomorrow is suppose to bring steeper hills and a 1 mile climb (so excited...... i hope i get through in one piece...ekk)
tonight's delicious dinner of spaghetti, pulled pork sandwiches, chips & salsa, and pork and beans will hopefully give me the protein and energy for some quality 6 mph climbing
high: managed to escape getting heat rash in what i thought was the hottest day so far
low: the hurting georgia hills- these quads and calves will be enormous if this climbing continues
cheers to tomorrow's further climbing!
since i'm on an actual computer- pictures in review
