Seems like just yesterday I was getting ready to begin my 20 week training plan, not looking at my upcoming taper. It's not too soon but sooner than later. Training these last few weeks has been great and awful sometimes in the same day. When the blood glucose is in the zone it seems like the stars are aligned perfectly and it's all dialed in. When they are off I think I'd rather go back to bed.
I did the Deer Creek Century ride August 29th, it was a good ride. 100 miles and 12,751 feet of vertical gain. They were billing it as the hardest century ride in the US. Not sure I have the need to confirm or deny that but it was a tough ride. I manged to finish it in 10 hours and 15 miuntes, with blood sugars in the 110 range for the day! Not too shabby on either end. I figure if I can manage this kind of ride then the infamous Kona winds shouldn't be too bad (famous last words). I must say that riding a tri bike for a climbing ride definately made for some intersting comments. Ride what you race! Would love to take the DCC on again next year on a properly geared road bike!
