So some of you know I was scheduled to ride in the Outlaw Trails 100 this weekend. My friend and I signed up for the 63 mile bike section and dh registered for the 40 mile. We started off fine, but at about mile 7 my friend had a tire blow out and I mean huge blow out. We got it fixed, it was just the tube and then two miles later the same thing happened. He didn't have another tube and it turned out to be a defective tire. He waited for the sag wagon and DH and I took off. I decided to do the 50 miles instead of 63 so I could meet up with them sooner. (Turns out the sag wagon had a spare tire so my friend got to ride the 40 mile also).

Long story short (I know, too late), I rode my 50 miles, with strong winds, in about 3 hours and 9 minutes. I don't even feel like I rode that far. That is always a good sign.

Hope everyone met their weekend fitness goals!

Biking against the wind is always a pet peeve of mine.....kudos to you for actually sticking it out and doing 50 miles in it!

You go girl, you're hard core!

Thanks ladies! I'm pretty proud of myself. Next big thing for me are two half-marathon or more trail runs in December and January. I'm super excited.
