The 80km ride has great during, but after we were so beat we took a nap!
To fuel up I made my first batch of Protein Pancakes from this recipe. Only I used two bananas and the whole eggs. I found them to fall apart too easily and I was missing the "heartiness" of a bowl of oatmeal or overnight oats. Perhaps another trial is in order!
During the ride I drank plenty of water, some fruit punch sports drink and some energy gummies. I may try an energy bar next time.
After the ride we wolfed down a tasty C.L.T with homemade coleslaw! (C.L.T. = Chicken Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato).
I think it's time to step up my game! The past few weeks have been a bit "easy". I need to through a big challenge in there!
Week Nine
Goal #1 - four to five rides one being over 80km
Goal # 2 - I'm going veg for a week! Not too difficult usually, but I need to make sure I'm getting enough protein during training
