first ride since feb 2011... well, as expected my ass hurts LOL. but i honestly feel better than i thought i would. and since i haven't taken any pain meds in 3 weeks my endorphins are kicking in making me WANT to ride.
i rode yesterday for a short 3 miles around the neighborhood. why so short? well i wanted to be able to work out any mechanical issues so i didn't want to go too far. also, it was mostly for me to gauge how my body would feel afterwards. so how did it feel???
i rode today for 7 miles at river legacy. it was all flat but i wanted to get used to "putting in some saddle time". my kuat bike rack makes it super quick to load up the bike and drive down there. it's only 1.8 miles but there is a 10% grade hill between me and there. which i haven't been able to climb on my road bike since i crossed the 300lbs mark (not on any bike since 315lbs).
i'll post my official one month weight tomorrow. it's not going to be all that impressive mostly because i haven't been the best eater the last week. i can eat just about anything now and have been doing just a little bit too much "testing". however, my rides have felt great because i have enough calories to make it through. i am also doing weights 3 times a week to re-build my muscle mass i lost over the last 6 years. i'll be holding off on the swimming for a while. in fact i probably won't start that until january when i start seriously training for my tri in march... oh, did mention i'll be doing a tri in march??? i guess i just did.
