Sippy Sips...

I rode out of my house at about 8:30pm for a 3 hour ride. My nite lite has about a 5 hour charge but little did i know that was only normal. on high it has a about half that. so 2.5 hours in my nitey lite went out. let me just tell you that there is never a good time for the lite to go dead. Good thing for me though that was done with the major part of my ride and was riding out on the "bad lands" which is lit at night.


SIPPY SIPS


well i decided that since i was working on taking breaky breaks i would work on taking sippy sips on my shorter training rides. basically every 5 minutes i take a sip of water or gatorade. so every five i take a swaller. every 5 is easy to see and remember on the stop watch. and since i no longer train distance but train time it's easy to keep track of.



I did pretty well considering i was started out when it was pitch black outside. the moonlight makes a big difference when your nitey lite goes out. so basically there was no moon out last night.


NOCTURNAL FRIENDS


i haven't seen a fox or an owl in while but i did see about 20 skunks. NO EXAGGERATION. those suckers were everywhere. i saw about 12 opossums, 3 jack rabbits, 2 armadillos and 1 raccoon. i can tell you why there are so many skunks and opossums as road kill cuz those guys are flat out DUMB!!! the hear and see me coming and they run along side me and try to cut me off. so essentially they are trying to have me run them over. a couple of times i had to slow down to point where i was almost stopped to avoid hitting them. there were so many skunks i was worried that one would cause me to wreck cuz they all did the same thing... run out in front of me trying to commit suicide. one opossum ran along side me for about 100 yards like he was racing me. this is the kind of stuff you'll never see on the trainer.

tomorrow is a 1.5 hour run. so wish me luck.
