95 Training Days

Yikes! While I was on vacation, my training days dipped into the double digits! I must confess, I am beyond nervous. The Adirondack foothills just about demolished my confidence as a cyclist, not to mention being accompanied by Vince "the machine" Richards who never seems to get tired and has the lung capacity of a friggin' elephant. The good news is I just went for an effortless four mile run this morning, so I guess wheezing, moaning, and crying up category climbs must have improved my cardiovascular endurance.

Here is a link to my first ride of vacation. We got a little lost, and I still think I am missing a piece somewhere because the mapmyride distance does not jive with the bike computer reading. The most impressive part is the elevation data. Check this out:

 I plan on creating a separate page with links to all the rides from our Tour de Champlain. Please stay tuned for further developments.

I am also back to logging everything I eat and drink on my food diary. Although I logged hundreds of miles and climbed crazy hills, the fact remains that I was on vacation. I ate huge campfire meals late at night, drank more wine than usual, and visited a fair share of microbreweries (my number one dietary weakness.) Now, it's time to get back on track.
