Today's ride.

Today's ride was pretty good. Lisa, Catherine and myself met Ang and Michelle at Park Royal. We went down to Deep Cove (although not all the way). Went up Seymour Mountain and boy was that tough. Great job Lisa for pushing hard up Seymour. You did great and everyday it will get easier!

I had a gel before we started which I think was good for me. Except it was strawberry/banana which I now find horrible. I had a few bites of a powerbar about 40 minutes in and then didn't have anything else until the bottom of Seymour. I am slowly learning when to start eating so I don't feel like crap, but then I forget, I get hungry, and that hunger never goes away. Even right now after we have eaten dinner I am still hungry and trying to fill the hunger with water.

Lisa and I went back to just under the bridge but we needed more time. So we turned around and pushed hard the other way. We had to make up time and we needed it not to be an easy time. We (I think) rode hard and strong for the final 20 minutes of our ride. Although the distance wasn't very far it was a great ride, tough enough for the day.

So thanks for the ride today everyone and I can't wait for the run in the morning. Miranda I hope you are feeling better. And we still need a picture of all of us together!
