Holy cow I had the ride of my life today.
first some background info:
On Sunday October the 1st I am going to be in a race. The race is composed of 12 teams of 3. I was put on a team with 2 very strong men, one being my son. My husband is on a different team.
I am riding a tandem with one of the strongest riders in the state (Not my son)! He's done lots of long races, and a 1200 k..
So tonight I rode with this guy for the first time. We were maintaining 25 mph where DH & I usually are going 15! we raced up and down hills. It's a damn good thing that I couldn't see how fast we were going, because i would have panicked. It was thrilling, exciting, amazing.
Because it's a short ride (only 22 miles haha) i left my underwear on.. big big mistake!... at the halfway point, i was REALLY SORE (and these are my super nice seamless underwear!) so i took them off.
at the 22 mile mark i felt better than i did at 11.. commando.
My captain is very strong. He threw sweat like a racing horse. :D
the best part about this is that I was able to help him up the hills. most of the time his cadence was so high that i did all that i could just trying to keep up; but on the hills, I could really help.
Now off to bath and bed, I am tuckered out.
