Today was the first of a series of long century training rides and I was the only lady along with three seventeen year old boys and two adult male hardcore racers. Aaaa! The great news is that this 50 mile ride is a new personal best for speed and time

50 miles in 3 hours (really 3:16 but we stopped three times to consult google maps and refill water which probably amounted to fifteen minutes). I'm not going to try to figure out how much time was spent at lights, but with all the lights in downtown Saint Louis is looks like my average speed was STILL 16.67 mph!!!

Definite personal best.

The bummer was I bonked hard at about mile 42 and lost the pack and rode home tired and lonely Boys don't like waiting up.

But still! PR!

Also, my HR monitor says I burned 2887 calories What should I eat tonight! I'm resisting every urge to over indulge
