It was really windy and raining hard today. I had nothing really to do, so I got up early,6:00 am, and started riding at 6:30 in my basement. Got off my bike a little after 1 pm. Believe it or not, it went pretty quickly. Let me tell you what I did. First I peddled easy for about a 1/2 an hour while watching the news. Then I put on the 5 and 1/2 hour Spinerval workout. Watched some sports news for a while and then got board with the TV. The workout was very intense so I could not concentrate on a movie. I really like Harry Chapin and have all his albums, so I turned on my iPod and played Chapin for the next 4 1/2 hours. When the Spinervals were over, I peddled for another 1/2 hour and watched some college basketball. I really worked today's ride. Had my heart rate in zone 3 and 4 most of the ride and the last hour had it in zone 5 a good part of the hour.
During the ride I consumed 4 bottles of water, 2 bottles of an energy drink, 3 energy gels, one energy chomps and when I finished the ride, one bottle of replacement drink. I estimated I burned about 4000 calories. About 1/2 hour after the ride, I had 3 slices of pizza, 1/2 an egg plant parmigian sub and a soda. As I type this I think I am getting hungry again.
Coming off of yesterday's hard 50 miler, I feel good. I know when I am biking in the event I will not get my heart rate this high and it should be a lot easier. Today's ride is equivalent to about 7 1/2 hours outside.
Crunches: 300
Push ups: 50
Total Distance: 110 miles
Total Time: 6 hours and 30 minutes
