mission accomplished

ok, so it wasn't easy, but i met my goal for the weekend. on saturday i took the rush out to wilderness park for what i hoped would be 2 laps. i wasn't feeling so hot - friday night i had a slight fever and saturday morning i awoke with a headache. out on the trail my pace was average but i never really got into the groove. i headed out from the trout creek site for lap two, and by the time i hit panther i was feeling nauseous and weak. i rode the levve back to my car and drove home, stopping once because i was sure i was going to barf. i managed 27 miles.

saturday night i was out drinking until 330am. sunday i awoke and took my commuter to el taco nazo and back. 8 miles. later i decided to check out the suncoast trail. i figured it would be easy enough to get the rest of the miles there. ride 35 miles out, then have no choice but to ride 35 miles back. no excuses.

i didnt start riding until 400pm or so. i knew i'd probably have to ride in the dark some so i brought my light. little did i know i would be riding the WHOLE distance back from brooksville in the dark. and that when it gets dark, it gets really fucking cold, especially at 18mph. anywyas, it was miserable, but i got the job done. 66.2 miles in 3:49.

27+8+66.2=101.2

priorities

my bicycles have been neglected lately. i have set myself a goal for this weekend of 100 miles, road, dirt, or any combination thereof. tomorrow i plan to hit the dirt at wilderness park for 2 long laps. sunday i will take an aggressive stance towards my hangover with a road ride somewhere, i know not where.
