3/20 Training Day 4 – 23 Miles

RAIN ON SATURDAY, what does that mean, we RIDE ON SUNDAY. On Sunday morning I grumpily awake get ready and wait for Alondra to pick me up as we go train at PV. This was a day filled with a beautiful coastal view and lots of hills. The miles set for today was to accomplish 35 miles (if I remember correctly) however I could only finish about 23 miles.

The day overall went well, my only loss was an $8.00 water bottle that fell off Alondra’s bike. She keeps my extra water bottle since my bike frame is too small and therefore I can’t add any other holders. It was funny though watching my bottle cross my path as I’m climbing up a hill. At this point I wasn’t going to try and stop and grab it, my only goal was to get to top.

I finished the training ride with my legs feeling like lead. As much as I wanted to keep going it just wasn’t happening. The harder I peddled the slower I felt I was going. At the end I didn’t continue to the last hill, instead it was a stop to Subway for some breakfast/lunch. With panoramic view to the ocean the training ride ends.

Donation update: At this point recommitment papers are due! I don’t know if I can continue or raise the funds.
