Torching the KM's

So i did a big ride today......solo. I got in about 170 KM's which is about 105-110 miles. It was a blast furnace and I payed for it as I now have some heat stroke. I am already tan but now I have an uber tan. ( uber = super) I had a very good week of training and I blocked out all of the pain in my body and just got on with the task at hand, epecially today. At one point my bottles were piss warm and I mean warm, and the girls at the Munch will atest to that. I had Erin and Carrie feel how warm they were and they just asked, " you were actually drinking that?" As long as it is wet it is good, well somewhat. I began hallucinating some time around 4 and a half hours. I found myself uncontrollably laughing at the dumbest things. Anyways I have also found a way to get out the door and feel comfortable for a little bit at the start of the ride. I put my bibs on and then hop in a freezing cold shower and it lasts for about 30 minutes. Better than nothing I guess. So in the next few weeks I am going to be a cycling machine. I am doing the state champs road race next Sunday in Muskegon. Then Kokomo TT in Kokomo Indiana on June 11, then Summer Solstice June 16-18. The Summer Solstice is a crit, 2 road races and a Time Trial in the span of about 48 hours, actually 38 hours, but thats cycling. This training should come in handy for these races. Also I may go to the State track and field finals this coming Saturday, an ex-teacher from my newspaper class sent me an email telling me I should stop by and say hi. I guess he ran into someone and he heard about my cycling and he wants me to come give the youngsters a pep talk. Being that I haven't been in the whole HS running community in a bit I may pass. Come on it has been 7 years and I do not need to be there. Who knows, I will already be in Grand Rapids for the race on Sunday, hopefully I can stay with Bubbles, Boer or Baar??? I dont want to wake up at 5:30 again for a race that is 102 miles. I need good sleep. Other than that I am very high on morale and confidence. I do not think I have ever been this psyched for tough races coming up. Until later, keep your fingers out of your nose and feet out of ur ass. Later!!!
