Lake Placid

Wow... We finally made the trip to Lake Placid and rode the course. When we woke up today the roads were wet and thunderstorms were in the forecast. We set out on the the bike course around 8:45am. Our first loop was filled with many stops for water and bathroom breaks...however we were pleasantly surprised with the course. On the second loop we realized each portion seemed a little longer and each hill was a little steeper. What a incredible feeling to finish the course...112 miles! Now we stopped back at the hotel to change for the run. We ran for 40 minutes maybe more? When I turned off my heart rate monitor 8 hours and 59 minutes had gone by with a total of 4000 calories burned. Overall I was trilled with how the day played out. I felt that my nutrition and hydration plan had worked. There still is some work to do but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. As for tomorrow we will swim and run the course.
