We decided to go to Story City for brunch, like a nice healthy cinnamon roll :) I had been dreading this for a long time as there are noticeable hills on the way back that suck all energy from me. The trip down was good, but I was hoping I hadn't pushed it too much that I would bonk on the way home. We stopped and had a yummy breakfast for much longer than I had anticipated we would, but it was a good break. I had a veggie omelet - great protein! I had felt dehydrated before I even started so I tried to drink plenty. That didn't work so well, but I did drink quite a lot at the restaurant. I think that helped me get home.
Interesting observation today: my knees hurt when I ride. Bill thought maybe it was because I use a higher gear than he does going up hills. I don't know if it really helped. My knee was nasty when I got off and tried to run. About 1/2 mi into the run it felt better. I felt amazing! Question for Vardotrichic: Is it better to have more rotations at a lower gear or fewer rotations at a higher gear?
Thought of a 1/2 Ironman entered my mind for most of this ride. I think this is a possibility if there isn't a minimum time requirement for the swim.
