Cycling (Foothills Trail) 3:17:24 [2] 60.14 mi (3:17 / mi)
slept:8.6
I thought this ride was only going to be 50 miles, but I kept on going straight instead of turning left on Pioneer Street. I realized I should have turned as soon as I started going uphill, but there was so much traffic so I just kept going. It wasn't too much out of the way though. When I got to the end of the trail in 1:36:30, my GPS read 30.04mi. I then took in a chocolate honey pouch and 3 swigs of water. At 55mi I took 2 more swigs of water. I rode without a shirt and the heat (77 degrees) started to get to me. Coming up from the valley was pretty rough. My breathing was under control but my legs had had enough. I circled around 51st and to make it 60mi. Also, going down the hill to the valley at the start, my GPS said 50.3mph. Considering that's 4mph faster than I've ever gone, I'd like to back it up to make sure it wasn't an error. But then again, I was definitely moving and used up my brakes at the bottom!
