First Big Day
Had my first big day today and here are a few things I learned.
1. It was hard to keep my heart rate down...I rode a 23 mile loop and the first 9 miles are up hile and the wind was pretty fierce today so it kept my heart rate elevated for the fist part of the 3 loops. My heart rate stayed about 10 beats higher than I wanted.
2. My nutrition needs to be dialed in better. By hour 3 I felt a bit bloated and didn't want to keep drinking. I think I had too many calories per hr. I may try to alternate with water to dial down the calorie intake.
3. The run was not at a bad pace but was more difficult than I anticipated. This was due to too much liquid in my stomach sloshing around. after about 30 min. I started to feel good.
Over all a success and I learned a lot.
