Bike at Padden day. I was really looking forward to getting back on the bike. I bought a new helmet and was ready to debut it. Had a bit of a shock though. As I pulled up to the parking lot, it seemed that there was some kind of function going on. It all worked out though. Turns out there was a mountain bike race scheduled for the day. I was able to talk to the organizer and got permission to ride the course. The race wasn't until later in the morning. Good thing I like to get an early start.
So the ride was a bit better than last time. I did it in under one hour. I'm not exact on this as I started my stop watch at the car not at the start of the course. Also I got mixed up due to the race course having placed arrows and blocking ribbons to direct the racers and it sent me off course. Still even with that I made it under the hour time I set for myself.
I also figured out that when I have to get off and walk I should be moving a bit faster. I actually ran with my bike in a few places. I think that will help my time. There are some many places where there is no way I'm going to be on the bike. Too many down hill with roots and drops for my comfort zone. Feeling good though so I'll be able to get better the more I ride that trail.
Breakfast: I wanted to eat something this morning before the ride. Had a Cherry Pie Larabar and of course my 20oz of cold water.
After the bike ride: Protein drink
After grocery shopping meal: A rather weird one. Two chicken tenders with 3/4 of a cup of Sesame noodle salad. One mini orange/cranberry Tea Scone.
Dinner: Mexicali salad with the rest of the Sesame noodle salad, some tomato, and cottage cheese.
So the weekend training is back on track after the vacation. Last weekend was great fun but I do think I missed working out along with the running and riding. October here I come!
