OKAY SO THAT'S A LITTLE SEVERE
Well, I am up/ It's 3:40 am. WTF!!!!. Oh yeah I am going to voluntarily
torture myself (in fact I paid to do so) by riding my fat ass 103 miles
this morning (and part of the afternoon.....and hopefully not the
evening). I have got my coffee (Walmart brand rocks) I am eating my
oatmeal, and I have had a tortilla with peanut butter and Nutella. I
should be ready for this in about 6 months. Once I get past 35 miles it
should be pretty easy for another 35-40 miles and then I will have to
slug it out to get back to the finish at town square. Not looking for
speed just to finish. It will be like my first marathon I ran back in
1995 when although I was doing a boatload of cardio (14-18 hours a week)
I was not doing much running (25-28 miles a week). I suffered the last 3
miles in that event...and for the next week I could barely walk. I am
going to have to buy a rubber donut for my butt if I want to sit down
this week
I was ready for this a month and a half ago before I started
working 2 jobs more or less full time. That being said I would rather be
working full time and not have enough time to work out as opposed to
the opposite situation. Good Luck to me and my fellow riders. I think
their are about 1800 of us heading down the strip at 5:30 am followed by
a 25 mile climb.And believe me that 25th mile is a B#$@H. It is
affectionately known as the wall.
Oh yeah I feel that more important part of my pre-workout
routine building up so I should be a little lighter at the start of the
ride...lol.....you runners and bikers know what I mean.
TIME TO SHIT, SHOWER, & SHAVE (That's what Dad used to say before getting ready for work)
Time to go and have my morning constitutional and reading session to clean out the system. Then shower, dress and meet my ride. I haven't figured out how I am getting home as of yet. I felt bad enough about having my friend wake up at 4am to give me a lift there, but she is great.
LATER......MUCH LATER.....REALLY MUCH MUCH LATER
I will file a report on the ride and results when I am done and have had a few beers to "relax"
