MS 150 Done...

Day Two Map
My stats aren't the best in the world for this weekend but the most important part is that i completed it. I will split up my objectives in sections:

BREAKY BREAKS
I didn't take many at all. In fact the only times i stopped were to fill up water bottles and take off my jacket and gloves.

NUTRITION/ELECTROLYTE INTAKE
I think i did perfect in this area. I took a sip (~1.5oz) of accelerade every 5 minutes. I didn't take any goo's or clif bars just accelerade. and i had enough energy and i didn't cramp for lack of electrolytes.

WATER INTAKE
I feel way short on this one. because i was so worried about drinking my calories i didn't drink enough plain old water. because i weigh 285 i need to drink A LOT of water. I will try to integrate taking in gulps of water every five minutes and whenever i hit a nice downhill. to make sure i get enough in me. I will try this technique on my long rides. and weigh myself before and after to see how i did.

AVERAGE HR
I did pretty good on this one. day one i tried hard to stay under 160 but it was so windy that that was hard. day two i would have done much better but i drafted a bunch of people so i couldn't really watch the HR. i don't talk about drafting too much because it's illegal at the ironman so it's not part of my regular routine but for a 2 day training ride by all means draft away time in the saddle is the most important thing there.

AVERAGE SPEED
Not fast enough. i want to be at least 2 mph average faster. the zipps will get me about 1. but the other has do come from me. loosing weight will help that as well as my longer training rides coming up. intervals will also help that.

All in all i am really sore and in lots of pain. all my muscles hurt not just my legs. i am thinking about getting a massage tomorrow. but i don't know. I did help out a downed rider that though he knew how to fix is chain. it was only 3 miles from the finish and i didn't have the heart to just pass him up knowing if kept doing what he doing he was going to break his chain. he got his bike stuck in seam where two concrete slabs of road are joined. there was a really nasty one that took out 2 other guys with me just sitting there. I am super paranoid about crack so i usually don't hit them but who knows one day i might not see one and BLAM!
Masters swim on tuesday at the butt crack of dawn. but hopefully i have gotten used to getting up early because of the MS.
