I can't believe I rode 72 miles on a bicycle on Saturday. It seems outrageous and stupid, but I am very proud of myself! We started at Zott's in Portola Valley - we rode three different loops all starting and stopping at our cars. Mentally, loop courses are tough, which means they are great for training! We got to dump stuff off at our cars after each loop, refuel, and because I planned ahead of time, I had ice cold water waiting for me after each segment! The courses were familiar, both a good thing and a bad thing - the first 18 miles, the second 30 miles, and the last 24 miles.
All in all it was a great ride, but I was VERY happy to be finished! I couldn't have ridden much longer, which I suppose is the way our trainings are designed. I was so proud of myself and my pacegroup when we finished and I can't imagine how we will feel in Tahoe!
Next weeend is an 80 mile buddy ride and I'm already nervous about it!
