"How Stupid"

You would think that I would know better by now but I guess not. I went riding today without enough calories beforehand and without taking anything with me. I was determined to ride for 3 hours, as I needed to reaffirm my commitment a little bit, and as such I kept going long after there was nothing in the tank. I was actually wobbly at the end, and it took me all day to recover. After eating like a pig all day I finally feel ok again. Live and learn. I'll try not to make that mistake again. I did keep my swimming commitment however....in the hot tub!!

I did make a new friend today. Nathan trashed me on the bike. (they have 2 machines that ride together) Unfortunately he had to leave to go to class...high school that is!!!

I did at least something right today though. I got comfirmation of my reservation for an RV park in Penticton....1.5 kms away from the race start. We will be able to walk down on race morning without any of the aggravtion of having to find a parking spot...woohoo!! But that's not the best part. I was also delighted to discover that the local Tim Hortons is just across the street from the park, thereby assuring that Claudette will go with me and probably even stay the whole time.

I wish to dedicate day 117 to my wife, just for sitting with me for a minute this morning. I hope she knows how much I cherished it. Somehow she always knows when I need her attention.

so on nutrition....
