Day 104

Day 104: Today I did the Caretersville Century!!!! Not only did I complete my second century but I did them both back to back weekends and I feel great! They day didn't start out to well when I set my alarm clock for the wrong time, the good thing though is that we had planned on starting early. Even though I was late for the time we wanted to start, we where still able to get out there on time and still a little early! The weather was almost perfect! It was a cool morning, but heavy fog but it never was a factor. The humidity was there though and me being a sweater, I was already dripping sweat by mile 10. I was a little worried because I was in a here where I got there to get ready I forgot to put on some butt cream. Lucky I had just bought a new pair of bike shorts and I think that was the life saver. I had a successfully ride with no chaffing!!!! I loved the course, it had a lot of hills, short and long. I really hope all this hill ride will have me ready for Ironman Wisconsin. I think we did set a record though with being chased by dogs. I think today we had a total of 7-9 dogs chase us, and we survived all the chases!!!! Also I have been trying to hit 40 mph on my bike and I almost got it today, but I just couldn't get it. I hit 39.5 UGH.  Overall I felt amazing on this century ride and I am happy with my time. I finished in 5:54. I still have a lot of work to do, but I think with the training I have left I am hoping to get there.
After the bike like always I went out on a 3 mile run. That is were I struggled today. I don't think it was because I pushed it hard on the bike, because my legs felt great and energy wise I was good. I was just getting bad side cramps and those are never fun. I have a feeling though I didn't drink enough on the bike because I know I didn't go through the same amount last week. So I know I have to remember to DRINK! One other thing also I have been drinking a new drink called Infinit Nutrition. I love everything about it. It is a special mix that is made just for me, based on my weight, how much I sweat and how much I am training and so much more!!! It eliminates also me having to eat while I am on the bike, because everything I need is in the drink. It is amazing and I never felt hungry once on the bike, so that is a good thing.

Well tomorrow is the bike day. A 5k swim. Lets hope I pull this off.

In order to get things you never had, you must do things you never did.
