The long ride day has arrived. Completed my long run yesterday with not too much stress. Legs were a little tired. It was good to use the Fuel Belt again. Worked as advertised and allowed hydration the entire way round, which is something that I really rely on. Played around with the Hammer Perpetuum as well. Went straight out the door without breakfast, which typically leaves me under energized for a long run. Used the pancake like energy mix and felt strong throughout the run. Couldn't quite keep my heart rate as low as I would have liked. Lately, it always seems to spike when I run, much more so than on the bike.
I was tired enough yesterday, but managed to add to my woes when I knocked myself senseless walking to the basement. Must have been down those stairs a million times, but this occasion my head met the ceiling corner, hard! It hurt, a lot! For a second I didn't know what was going on. It appears that I don't have a concussion. The long ride today (3hours) should expose that theory. Looking forward to the ride. First, Man U vs Chelsea, then a long ride and then the Super Bowl. Seems like a well spent Sunday to me. ( A big thank you to my understanding wife!)
Today I will also try out the CyclOps training bra. Yes, that's right, my first bra. Such a milestone. Admittedly, it is more to hold off the sweat from corroding my bike than it is from supporting my moobies. Anything to prolong the life of my Boy Blue!

The game is about to start and I must pack a bag for the trip over to Napoleon's apartment for the ride. Need to pick out some good movies for this one. if i don't, I will have to listen to him bang on about the bloody French Rugby team the whole time. Nobody wants that! :)
Good luck to us all!
