Considering that I will be racing on my bike in 20 days, I decided it would be wise to dust the thing off and take it for a spin...since it hadn't been out of my garage since February...
Here are some lessons learned on the bike trail:
1. Carbs in alcohol are not useful carbs for your body. I've been working really hard to disprove this over the last few years, but my quads would not cooperate.
2. Don't ever listen to your quads when they ask for a break. They sucker you into thinking you'll be treating them so well with a little rest stop. Ignore them! They go on break and stay on break. They don't care that you still have 5 miles to ride and 1 mile to run.
3. Bicycle bells are for douchebags!
4. My people are very resourceful. If the price of nopales at Superior Market is not to their liking, they gather the whole familia together and pick them off the side of the bike trail.
5. Efusjon Edge takes the edge off that nasty dehydration thing you get from exerting yourself in the sun after a night of wine and champagne...and pizza...and tiramasu...

Tiramisu too... Well, The side of the trail is where the nopales get their flavor, and alcohol works great for fuel... except usually it gets stored as fat, not in muscle. You may disprove this by working out drunk and could possibly enjoy your workout slightly more. Great Blog, lots of fun to read! You inspire me to train hard, run a duathlon, and read.
