I should have taken a picture of some road kill and posted that because that's just about how I feel right now. I should have taken today as a rest day.
I woke up this morning with very sore quads and an extremely bad stomach ache. Due to rain and bad planning my dinner last night consisted of potato chips, power bars, and East Greenbush tap water. Other that that, maybe it's dehydration or just my body konking out (like when you work too hard at the gym and feel like throwing up afterwards).
As such, I spent the whole day feeling like I was going to puke with absolutely no energy in my legs. I had to force feed myself to eat anything. On top of this it was in the low 50s with a very mild mist (uncomfortably cold).
At mile 30 I decided in had to get to a motel asap and found one 6 miles away in Schenectady (keeps my miles per day at 50).
That said, there's a very good chance I won't be biking tommorow.

Not to worry. You'll work yourself into better condition as time goes on. How's the "poopsicle" holding up .. tighten those bolts. Dad
ReplyDeleteI have actually spent time in East Greenbush when I used to visit my office in Albany. Take it easy and work your way into this. All my children are taking this trip with you and pulling for you. It gives us something to look f0rward to over the summer.
