Today was my first "real" day of training. For some reason I thought I was going to shock my coach with some crazy new power that I developed after coming back from Colorado. I'm not sure why I exactly thought that, but I did. Needless to say, the ride did not go as planned. If anything, my coach will probably be shocked by how quickly I exploded :-)
I also made the mistake of grabbing a few of my leftover Banana hammergels for my ride. They were what I raced with at Breck and let me tell you...bad memories, bad memories. I couldn't get them down for the life of me. I think I'm going to have to take a few months off from the banana flavor. Sad, since they were a staple in my racing/training diet.
Tomorrow I have an easy mountain biking day with my bike shop sponsor Mike, and then more intervals at the end of the week. Hopefully by then I will be able to produce some sort of power:-)
P.S. If anyone is camera shopping I highly recommend this one. Scott bought it for me this past winter and I've been carrying it in my sweaty and sometimes muddy jersey ever since. Well, something happened today that makes it seem almost indestructible. I was flying down a hill on my bike and tried to grab a water bottle out of my back jersey pocket. Not only did my camera fall out, but it bounced repeatedly down the street. I had to watch a stream of cars drive over it before I could go get it. I was scared to look at it, but it looks the same, minus a new dent or two. And it still works! Phew!
