Bike-105 miles (409 minutes-6 hours and 49 minutes!!!!!)
Run-50 minutes
Whew!!! What a day! We were on the move for 10 hours today! This is going to be a short blog because it's already late and we have another long day tomorrow! Here are some photo highlights from today.
At mile 56, we were all out of water and we were riding along a charity ride course but we felt guilty about taking any water since we hadn't paid to enter the race. But then I saw someone I recognized! The lady in the middle of us all is Suzanne, and I worked with her at Brackenridge Emergency Room ten years ago! I still see her every now and then because we both supervise UT interns and we have trainings together. She said they had tons of extra food and water and that all the riders had already passed through so we could help ourselves! They "made" me eat a brownie and a cookie! It was a good thing we were able to fill our water bottles because it was another ten miles until the next stop. And it was hot today. In the 90s and sunny. My favorite weather to ride in. It was pretty windy on the return trip, but it was good physical and mental practice.
I like this photo because Kristi looks so tall!!!
Ten miles after the Road Kill Cafe (that was the name of the rest stop because my friend's bike team is called Team Roadkill!) we got to the Liberty Hill stop. Here's Bonnie enjoying a soda and some donuts!
(Here's me and Suzanne again.)
Speaking of snacks, my nutrition plan worked out great today. The bagels with chocolate almond butter were perfect. 200 calories at a pop. Kristi figures I burned over 5500 calories today. Here's what I ate.
Smoothie
Bagel with cream cheese and tomatoes
All the food I put in the blog yesterday
Pasta for dinner
It was about 1700 calories on the ride alone. Not too shabby! I was going to force a muffin down for dessert, but I just don't know if I can do it, I'm pretty full after the pasta.
Ok, time to pack for tomorrow's madness.
