More training needed

Tuesday:

Today I rode with the Luna Chix out at Lake Sawyer.  We rode at an easy pace (it was a beginner/intermediate) ride.  We rode all of 6 miles in about 2 hours with many stops and breaks.  I was drenched (of course I was the one that put the coat on) by the end.  We rode a crummy trail (not the name, but a description), Toy trail and bridges.  I am very aware that this kid needs to get in shape to race the bike portion of the Xterra race on August 3rd.  My skills are great...my endurance needs some work.  Fredricka and Susan are riding (or searching for) the race course tomorrow...so I hope to get to ride it several times (with them) before the race.  The bike shop is out of maps, and the map guy has ceased to create them...so I need to dig out my old map and start riding Sawyer.  Endurance and speed are my two goals now.  My body did well today especially since I rode yesterday.  Tomorrow is the Worm with Joseph, and Thursday is Seatac with the Luna Chix.  Friday will need to be a rest day...and then back to Sawyer on Saturday.
