Another New Record
I set another personal record today - over 21 miles in one trip! This is up from the 14.6 I did yesterday.
- Total Distance: 21.27 mi
- Average Speed: 13.3 mph
- Max Speed: 24.1 mph
- Total Ride Time: 1:35
- Calories Burned: about 1300
I was only going to do two laps around Haines Point today, since I was still sore from yesterday - two laps there and about four hours sitting on the lawn to see Lord of the Rings will do that. But, after two and a half laps, I decided to go for it.
I'm not going to lie: I'm kind of proud of myself. Well, proud and a little suspicious. On Tuesday and Thursday of this week, I managed two laps. Yesterday I did three, and today I did five. It's both exciting and a little weird that I was able to pick it up that quickly in the span of this week, but then again, I know it's going to be tough to drag my ass out there a few times a week and keep doing it consistently. I know I've still got a ways to go before I can ride to work three times a week - it's only 10 miles, but mostly uphill - but I'm getting there.

I've found that if i go two
I've found that if i go two days in a row, not pushing myself to extremes either day, the second day ends up being a bunch faster than the first. I think it's because after the first day, your body starts to make a lot more glucogen in response to the demand, and so the second day you have a lot more bio-available energy.
