March 20, 2010: 61 mile ride
Wow, what another amazing ride we just finished on Saturday. It was not so crazy as I thought it would be. Still tough though. We started in La Jolla again at our spot in Parking lot 207. We had some other things that we talked about this past morning, which included some core strength training. I think I feel a little stronger every time I ride. My butt doesn’t hurt as much any more but I feel that I can try to get some more leg training that I should.
I had spin class on Thursday. I kinda want to start riding more this week so that I can get more into shape. I feel that I can’t keep up with the group sometimes especially on the hills. I just too tired and my heart rate just goes up and then I get burned out. I do fine on the smaller hills and inclines but when it comes to some serious climbing, I just get burned. I think I need to mix in some strength and speed intervals to help with that.
The ride was nice though. I wish I could have ridden like that in a group. I wish I had a group of friends that I could ride with. There is still a lot to learn from all the riding and its good that I have a great group that I am doing this with. I think I almost enjoy it more than running. It may take a lot longer but the fun is there. I feel a little bit more connected with this group than the run group. It seems like I will never be with a group like this anywhere. Maybe or maybe not.
I forgot my heart rate monitor at home. I wish I brought it. I think I probably burned about 400 more calories than the previous week.
