Milestone

Yesterday I achieved a personal milestone. I spent over 5 hours pedaling my bike- all by myself no less. And, it was surprisingly not that bad. I credit two factors for making the time go by. First, I split the ride into two parts. The first part involved hill-repeat intervals which took up about two and half hours. After that I just focused on doing an easy two and half hour spin. Piece of cake.
Actually, I have a suspicion that the bigger factor to my seemingly effortless five hour adventure was the teaspoon of bright yellow powder that I put in one of my water bottles. No, I have not succumbed to the ever present pressure that is placed on any high-profile professional cyclist(read:doping and yes, I'm being sarcastic). No, this substance is perfectly legal and I recieved it in the mail a few days ago from a very reputable endurance nutrition perveyor. It is called PreRace from First Endurance, a personal sponsor of mine. Holy crap. It looks like some sort of nuclear reactive material and a full scoop contains more 'oomph' than a liter of Red Bull. And it is AWESOME! I am sort of tempted to slip a little into Ari's orange juice next weekend and see how many home projects I can talk him into doing;)
