[QUOTE=spazzdog]Good job Tracey!
Thanks spazzdog. It felt really, really good to finish. I almost quit about 3/4 of the way through as I was hurting riding into the wind and I was getting the shakes as I was hungry. But, I felt like I had won the Tour De France when I crossed the finish line.
Great going! Good job!
For inquiring minds, the cat pedal came from Speedplay's very cool pedal history web pages: pedal museum
Just went to the pedal museum and you are right SadieKate that is a cool site.

I had my regular breakfast of toast and a banana. There were 3 stops, I had a bite of an orange at the first, a half of a banana and part of a cookie at the second and nothing at the third as my heart rate was really, really high so I was afraid I would get sick. I really need to figure out what and how much to eat on these rides.
I don't see any protein in this scenario hun. Carbs, potassium but no protein. That could be part of your problem maybe?? :(Quote:

Actually I increased my protein recently by adding kidney beans to my breakfast routine, only 1/3 cup but the extra protein/carbs combo seems to be a big help. Also, did you eat when you got home??......protein and carbs?? we each have vastly different things we eat for breakfast when we ride -

this might help you! I also keep Larabars or Luna bars around, they have a very nice protein/carb combo that will hold me over until I can eat or as an energy bar during a ride. Hope the link helps, and let us know what happens!
If none of that appeals... a PB&J sammich will do the trick. The baggie fits nicely in a jersey pocket :D

The PB&J sammich on the Top Hat was wonderful! Worked just right! I'm re-learning how to eat now that these girls have me riding up all these freakin' hills! 2-thums up for PB&J!Quote:

I'm going to be keeping my eye on you! :pQuote:
