High levels of Swamp Ass!!

I just got in from a 3.5 hour mountain bike ride on the road. It's a warm one today. I went out at 6:00 AM, and the humidity made it feel like 90 degrees, and I was riding in the middle of a swimming pool. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst), todays "Swamp-Ass" conditions are at 8. It's one of those days that you need atleast a hand full of chamois butter. The ride went well. It took me about 1.5 hours to get my legs feeling good, once they started ticking, I felt really strong, and was going pretty good and keeping my HR low at about 150ish.

I have uploaded a new picture to my profile. This picture is from the Wisconsin Endurance Mountain Bike Series race that was held in Green Bay. The rider behind me is Nature Valley/Penn Cycle rider Ray Coyle. We road together for about 10 hours of the 12 hour race. On the 11th lap, my legs weren't feeling all that spunky, so I told him to go on by hemself so i wouldnt slow him down. He finished strong for a 1st place win, while I came in 2nd. We talked during the race, and he said that he was using these races to get ready for the Leadville 100. Good Luck to him!!

That's about it for today. I am do into work at noon, and need to run to the store quick to get some bananas. Thanks for reading
