Livestrong Ride Recap

I did it. 90 miles. It was awesome.

Everything I would expect from the LAF foundation and the man himself. What a great day.

The big surprise of the day: Dripping Springs, TX. Man, these folks made us feel so welcome. People all over town cheering us on. Thank you for letting us invade. :-)

Training notes: 250 - 300 calories / hr made a huge difference. It feels very difficult to eat that much but I maintained good energy all day. Strong legs. Also, drank constantly, felt like every 7 -10 minutes, but was probably more like 15 - 20. Drank about 5 bottles, good for the cool day, could easily need double this on a hot day.

Highlights of the day:

Beautiful Dripping Springs, TX:
