150 miles and a bee sting for memorial day...

(9 months post op) i'll keep this short, mostly cuz i'm tired :) 3 x 50 milers give me 150 miles on the long weekend. had to kick summer off right. oddly enough today's 50 was easier. eating gu on the ride and drinking a combo of yoohoo and soymilk for a recovery drink and REALLY focusing on riding with a high cadence. doing that has made me feel a lot better on the rides the following day. however, i ate like crap again this week but i emptied the fridge of all crap and through it away. then proceeded to grill some pork, ground beef and chicken. i also made some smashed potatoes. 

btw, i got stung by bee 2 miles into my ride and other than your eye what is the worst place to get stung when riding? behind your knee!!! you know, so every pedal stroke it gets aggravated!!! after about 15 mins the pain was ignorable and after an hour i didn't feel it much at all. but what kind of act God does it take for a bee to get blown sideways into and behind my knee just before it closes. i know that when i do my ironman things will probably not go smoothly so facing adversity now will only make me better.
