Overtraining... or just a wimp?

[Bluetree]

Well, I took all your advice on my ride this morning.

Eat more
Slow my pace from 18mph to 15mph
Eat even more
Take breaks, stretched

Result: Today's ride was 5 hours and no quad issues! Ate a ginormous custard-filled pastry at my turnaround point and kept up with the Accelerade. Ended up with 59 miles, then rode around the block trying to bump up to an even 60. Not even tired.

THANKS TE GIRLS!!!

WAY TO GO BLUETREE!!

We knew you could do it. You just had to learn to pace yourself better and eat a little more. I for one, am very proud of you.

Blue - South Bay is LA area right?

My SIL lives in Brentwood. DH and I go down there at least once a year. We should go for a ride sometime.

I'll let you know the next time I'm coming to LA LA Land.

Thanks for the Tri-Zombies tip. I've been to the store before but I didn't know that they rented bikes. I even have a tri-zombies sticker on my Nalgene bottle. I love their logo.

Hast Luego.
