Tour de Cure
Posted on April 19, 2010
This weekend I signed up to volunteer to be a “course marshall” at the Tour de Cure.
The ride is a fundraiser for the ADA and it was actually pretty cool to see people, other than James Stout, riding their bikes and managing diabetes in their lives.
I left with the 70-mile group and it was a pretty nice route. I think a bit too hilly for a ride like this, but oh well. I thought this was supposed to be an easy ride, so I expected the course to be easy and the pace to be what I call “training pace”…. not fast, but just right… cruising pace. Well at times I found myself going a lot harder than I could actually sustain and I realized the saddest thing… I was about to get dropped from the Tour de Cure ride. Boy am I out of shape or what.
I need to cut the food intake immediately, but not sure how. Maybe this week I will put more hours on the bike and maybe add some running. I have to do something.
On another note, I heard the RR this weekend was pretty hilly. Great to se another suffer fest being added to the calendar.
