I failed

Where is the Trailnet? I am thinking about doing Big Dam also, but one of the shorter rides. There are a lot of hills on that ride. I rode the bridge last year so I could say I did it before my husband. It is really neat and the bike trails around it are nice too. It will be interesting to see where they plan on parking everyone.

It's starts out at Burns Park in the soccer complex. There is plenty of parking.

You have a whole lot of time to train for that ride! It's not til the end of September.

My husband is planning on doing the hundred. I will probably do one of the shorter routes.

Here is one other thing to consider about the heat. Where were you in your menstraul cycle?

Man... I just hit the wall hard this last week with the midwest humidity. It was suppose to be a short, easy ride... in which I had all the right stuff nutrition /hydration.

Even when not exercising, I do not do well just sitting in the heat. Some other things medically with my body are part of the reasons. Like you, one reason I chose my upocoming century (my first) in the fall. Think that is part of being smart and knowing your body. One reason of many I love Fall... crisp cool air...ahhh.

Only thing that really killed me on my own doctor list is my period and perimeopause. I gain 3-5#s a month. Look 1st tri-mester prego. BUT seem to shed all that in about 1 to 1 1/2 days. I'm a non-stop pee-ing machine.

Going back through my calendar, I was dumping my period water when I bonked. Literally 5 pounds lighter from Wednesday to Sunday morning.

I don't know if my gyno can recommend something or not. I don't want to be being doing this on the day of my century event.

Btw, I agree with your fail title. First, I thought... when you post something like that, you need support, encouragement, etc. Attitudes and perceptions about failure are relative. I see nothing wrong with failing. Just as you say... you learn, grow, etc... the sun comes up tomorrow. So what. You go on... it's a new day. IT'S OK!!!

Good Luck at the doc. Hope you get some answers.

oo oo, I was wrong! It started there the FIRST YEAR, but the last time it started at Dickey-Stephens Park. Since you'll have a bike, you can park anywhere downtown and ride over. I think we were able to get a spot in the lot right across the street.
