It didn't go so well.
25 miles in I started tanking. Light headed, stomach upset, and body ached everywhere.
Two pit stops due to bathroom needs and one to relieve my stomach.
Back on the bike for another 15 before I threw in the towel.
No due to lack of trying. My body said NO.
So with the encouragement of a few others, I got back on the trainer and finished out the remaining 20. This time just more of a spin.
Thanks to the crew that joined me for today ride. Your encouragement and motivation to get me through.

One more thing!
The first week in January I participated in the Ironcowboy Virtual race event.
To my surprise I won TWICE! First for the most miles biked and second for the most miles swam.
I received my first prize this week in the mail.
Rudy Project Rydon Performance Sunglasses and Sterling Helmet. AWESOME!
The other prize I am waiting on is the Blue Seventy Element goggles and transition bag.
Pictures to come of both!
I was going to ask how your ride went, well you stuck through it and that's one more in the bag. Good job Liz!!
