I did my first 30 miler Saturday. Felt great, except for when my left hip flexor decided to send shooting pain up and down my left side at about mile 25. Ugh. I pushed through though and finished in under 2 hours. That felt great. I feel myself getting stronger, and it doesn't hurt to see that i'm using lower gears than when i started 2 and a half months ago.
It was a beautiful ride through Marin County, around a reservoir, and through beautiful trees. It's a popular ride, there were well over 100 riders. There were gentle rollers and not to much wind, it's tough to slice through the gusts, but it just makes the training better!
I hosted a fundraiser that night from 7 to 11 at a bar downtown. I advertised drink specials, flip cup, and a silent auction, but only 7 people showed up. 1 was a professor and his girlfriend, 2 teammates (thanks Erin and Mike!) and 3 buddies outside of TNT. I made a little over $100, a far cry from the $500 i was hoping for. I learned for next time: have it earlier in the season, be more creative, and don't have it after a long day on a bike!
With that being said, I'm only a couple hundred dollars away from my goal! ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT! Please help out by donating what you can, RIGHT NOW! Don't wait! April 15th is the deadline! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, all of those who have and WILL donate!
GO TEAM!
