Well we were pretty bummed our ride got cut short yesterday, and it seemed like the last good chance to get a century in before the tri, so we decided to postpone our run and try the bike again. Storms in the forcast for the afternoon, so it was another early morning. The fog didnt lift until 2 hours in, but it kept the temperature cool so it was really nice. The rest of the ride was mostly cloudy, the sun peaked out a few times but it never got overly hot. Stopped to pee about every 20 miles, which was a little excessive, but it provided nice quick breaks. Turned my watch off once and missed about 3 miles, so I added them back in.
This ride was the best feeling long ride since the 50 miler. Syd gave a very nice pep talk that got me in a good mental state, which really helped. I was also very diligent and took an Ecap every 10 miles, half for something to do, and half for the benefits and I think it worked, my legs never got really sore like they normally do. The biggest mental pick-me-up was a quick stop at dollar general to refill on water and gatorade and an impromptu purchase of pringles, which fit great in the back of a bike jersey. Pringles never tasted so good. Also ate: 2 gu, 1 clif shot, 1 waffle, 1 bonk breaker.
