Training Log Archive: kgeisen

"I'm not really training for OT100, I just have friends who are." Rode with Eric and Randy. Moving slow as usual but actually felt decent and could ride most everything. Nothing really technical, just lots of up and down. Managed to establish this time that the guys should go ride their whole out and back rather than losing time waiting for me, so we crossed paths about 1.5 mile from Berryman campground on their way back and I just turned around there.

Not as many trees down on this stretch (still quite a few). Overall felt decent, not particularly confident on unfamiliar downhills but was able to ride most of the uphills. One bad mental stretch where I repeatedly couldn't get clipped in on a long, switchbacky uphill. Was def ready to be done but you wouldn't have needed to hold a gun to my head to make me ride more.

Hopefully all this OT time will translate into a much better BT Epic experience this year.

Typical wimpy first ride back at LV, scared of everything. Pretty relaxed ride featuring stop at whiskey log and a couple mushroom-hunting stops. Didn't take lights so the low light towards the end was very not confidence-inducing. BUT I felt better on the climb out than ever before and I almost caught Chuck and Lo who'd started before me.

Felt a million times better than last ride there, even though it was nearly as hot and I've been sick since Saturday.

Hiked with Chuck. Felt pretty good on the bike but didn't entirely trust my stomach with a run.

Finishing up my steps for the day.
