Now that I am back from China and the Hardrock 100 I will try to get back to blogging. I have been accepted to compete in the Furnace Creek 508. This is a 508 mile solo bike race across the Mojave Desert in early October. I have about 10 weeks to get my long distance cycling fitness in order. This will be a step up from other endurance activities and frankly it scares me. That a lot of time in the saddle. On a recent 200 mile ride I got to feel what this will be like. It was and epic ride where my saddle sores got the best of me. I will work out these kinks for the 508.
Here are some recent training:
7/25 – Bike Mulholland Loop – 42 miles
7/24 – REST – feeling a little left knee ITB pain… also not sleeping well the past 2 nights
7/23 – Run – Backbone trail, 10 miles west of Kanan Road
7/22 – Bike – Rock Store, Yerba Buean from Mulholland, Stunt Road, 40 miles
