Big Brick #2
Recovery week is officially over. The was no taking it easy today. This was the 2nd installment of the 3 Brick series today. This was also my first chance to put Infinit to work in my nutrition plan.
As usual, pre-race bagel breakfast (800 calories) 3hrs prior to workout. It was cold and windy this morning i figured this would not be the most enjoyable ride. The total ride time today was 3:45 and 65miles. I rode with 2 others to san marcos and back. the back part of the ride was windy as you know what. i did most of the pulling on the ride in order to maximize my effort on the bike. i did drop back and draft a couple times though and it was like night and day difference. During the bike i ate 4 gels, 6 salt tablets, 1 powerbar and 48oz of Infinit/54oz of water. Total calories were 1505 and sodium intake 3182mg.
After a 15min transition of preping everything i ran 14.5miles/1:55. The terrain was rolling hills and the temp was perfect. I was very pleased with the results. I avg 8min miles and avg a HR of 133. The legs felt great from the start but did seem to tire near the end. However there was plenty of fuel in the tank to keep going. During the run i ate 2 gels, 3 salt tbs, and 70z of flat coke/35oz of infinit. Total calories were 748 and sodium intake 1600.
This was another strong workout for me and i was more than pleased with the results. The Infinit did a great job (i used 1.5 servings for each bottle and it was still mild in flavor/thickness) and my stomach felt good during the run (other than one huge fart 1hr in). I have 1 more big brick in 3 weeks and then it is taper time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
