Distance: 21.7 miles
Start Time: 10:35 am
Ride Time: 1:15
Rate: 17.4 mph
Weather: 73 degrees
Notes: I rode all the way out to Estrella Parkway today via PIR. It was kind of tough. I felt strong for the first half but the last 5 miles I was feeling pretty beat. I got to get in shape because I have to do what I did today 5 times when we do our 100 miler in May. It was also warm out there today, which is a good trial because it will definitely be warmer in May. On the bright side, I didn't have a whole lot of nutrition in me. I ate a couple of pancakes this morning about an hour before the ride. Other than that I was only fueled by a McDonald's double cheeseburger from yesterday at around 4 pm and water. On the long ride I will eat a good pasta dinner the night before and be sure to have Gatorade, snacks and Goo on the trail. According to the Gmaps Pedometer I burned around 2,621 calories on the ride. I'm not sure if that is accurate but it felt like it. Here's my map: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2587694.

Texas Run 2
Distance: Approx 3.4 miles
Start Time: 7:45 am
Run Time: 0:32
Rate: 6.4 mph
Weather: 47 degrees with clear skies.
Notes: Today is our last day in Texas. This morning I just went for a run through the neighborhood near Cassie & JD's house. I have to be honest that I thought I ran further than I did, but I mapped it out and it says I only put in 3.4. So here is my run: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2584312.

O.P. Schnabel Park, San Antonio, Texas
Distance: Approx 8 miles
Notes: So I can now add Texas as a state where I have gone mountain biking in. I don't have stats on today's ride. I went out on the same trail that Max and I ran on yesterday, except I went further. I borrowed JD's bike and Cassie's helmet. The trail was not challenging. It was mostly level with some ups and downs in the wash. It would be a great beginner trail since it is not technical but still a lot of fun weaving in and out of trees. Here is my route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2584335.

Texas Run
Distance: Approx 5.5 miles
Start Time: 10:30 am
Run Time: 1:20
Fellow Runners: Max (Cassie & JD's dog)
Weather: 63 degrees and windy
Notes: We're in San Antonio for a few days and today I needed to go for a run. Cassie told me about a park that is about a mile and a half away. I took their chocolate lab, Max, for a run. We got out on the dirt trails that interlink throughout the park. I found a lot of spots that would be fun to mountain bike on (I think on Monday I'll steal JD's bike and take it out there). Max and I did a lot of exploring but got totally lost. I had a sense of direction as to how to get back but couldn't figure my way out of a neighborhood I found my way into. We finally found our way out but my feet are a little sore. The ground was pretty uneven and there were some rocks so I got some blisters.

Road Ride
Distance: 12.5 miles
Start Time: 8:30 am
Ride Time: 40 minutes
Rate: 18.7 mph
Weather: 53 degrees
Notes: First ride on the road bike in quite awhile. I finally got a new tube in there. I also had my new helmet for the first time. (I just picked up some gear at Performance last night.) Here is my route. I am joining Bettijo's dad on a century ride during the first week of May so I figured I'd better get out and start doing some distance riding on a road bike. I also ordered myself this aerobar:

FINS
Distance: 5
Start Time: 7:35
Ride Time: 1:30
Fellow Riders: Spencer & Jeff Bigham
Weather: A nippy 43 degrees
Notes: Spencer invited me to join him as he took Jeff on a rookie ride. It was a slow ride on which I barely broke a sweat. Still it was good to get out and spin the tires.
