What a workout. I watched the new Spinerval DVD that takes you over the Lake Placid Ironman Triathlete bike course. The course is two loops. The DVD covers the first 56 miles. I warmed up for 1/2 an hour and then watched the three hour video. Great workout. When you go up hills you simulate the effort on the bike and going down you are really spinning at a hard cadence. I was on the bike over 3 1/2 hours pushing. What I am trying to do is get into shape for long rides at a harder effort than I will do during my event. The better shape I will be in, the easier I will be able to ride, hopefully.
After I finished and took a shower I had lunch. Ate pasta had two English muffins with Swiss cheese, apple sauce, some tomatoes and ice tea. It is an hour and a half after I ate and I am hungry. They say I burned about 3000 calories during my ride. There is a science on how and what to eat if your are doing long rides everyday. This I will learn. Tomorrow will be another long ride, as I assume all my rides for the next 7 months will be.
Distance: 60 miles
Time: 3 3/4 hours
