Phew!Hill after hill.. I thought they would never end. From Rt 202 heading into Torrington, to Rt 20 coming out of Riverton the hills just kept coming.
65.8 miles
Max heart rate: 178 (a little too high)
Average heart rate 115.
Max speed 31.5 (really good for 'she who is afraid to go downhill').
Feeling very accomplished.
I hit the 'dumb' zone at about mile 63, couldn't remember if I had passed the Coach or not, (I did). I hit the 'can't go another blessed foot' zone as I pulled into the parking lot, at mile 65.8, but the kindest, greatest, bestest friend put the bike on the car for me and fed me a piece of Juniors cheesecake from NYC (great to have friends like that isn't it!).
Throughout the ride, I kept thinking (pardon the language) "these hills suck", but then I thought about why I am doing this...... because... chemo sucks more.
Ready for the 70 miler next week :)
