A necessary start to any hard bike session is Caffeine of some sort. We met at Starbucks, which isn't my first choice in coffee, but often does the trick. Jason and I actually made percolator coffee prior to this, but I hadn't thought to blog the ride yet.
It was about an hour before we reached the start of Felipe's "race sim." He was to go up Bandy Canyon to the top of Highland Valley (about 30min climb), back to the start, back up BC and down HV all at 70.3 race pace. Total, this was 90min of effort, straight into a race pace run. Jason and I just finished our ride while he ran. Felipe is prepping for 70.3 World Championships in Vegas next weekend. Follow him here.
Jason and I rode behind Felipe on the flat parts of the ride but on the hills there was no place to hide and we got to share in the pain :)
We were drinking chocolate milk for recovery before it was popular. I think it actually isn't popular with dieticians anymore, but we're still going strong. If it's good enough for every other mammal in nature, it's good enough for me.
The most fun part of any ride: analyzing the data and writing sweet blogs. Note the fur coat keeping my lap warm.
