Entry for August 26, 2006

Today was junior practice and we had a good group of riders show up.  Most of juniors attending today were older and made for a good group.  We started off with a short warmup and then did two lead out sprints.  After the lead out's we did two group sprints with each sprint increasing in distance.  Once we finished sprinting we stopped at the Ocoee High School parking lot to take a look for future practices. 

After the 1st half of the ride some of the juniors did an additional 20 mile ride in Windermere.  This ride ended up being a very fast ride with everyone taking 2 to 3 minute pulls @ 21-24 mph.  I bonked after around 10 miles and struggled to finish the ride @ 15 mph.  I think I ate a bad breakfast, didn't drink the day before, and the heat combined to cause me to bonk.

This was a very hard ride and I especially felt terrible after mowing the grass.  Thank God my neighbor offered to help cut the front yard or I think I would have ended in the hostpital. 

After cutting the grass I had pain in my kidney's which took around a hour to feel better.  This is a definitate indication that I lost too much fluids today.
