So the bike ride turned out to be more than 20 miles, somewhere around 23-26 (not sure exactly) and I thought I was gonna die but I actually did it. It took about 4 hours and the last leg of the trip was the worst because I think I got some heat exhaustion because I felt like I was gonna throw up and dizzy and got one hell of a headache (which I still have). I drank water the whole time so I know I was plenty hydrated so it must have been the heat that did me in and my lack of fitness level I guess. I can honestly say as far as fitness goes, that is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done and I had to push myself further than I ever have before. About 2 or 3 miles before the end I thought for sure I was done and there was no way in hell I was going to be able to finish it but somehow I did. Jason was very nice and supportive and even walked with me a bit towards the end where I just couldn't bike it anymore. I am proud of myself for doing it but we've been home for a few hours now and even after a cold shower and more water I still have a raging headache and I think a mild fever to boot. I think I might have pushed myself a little too far today but thats ok :) I think we are gonna do it again next sunday but hopefully leave earlier in the day so we dont have to battle the heat.
Oh the picture up there... thats my happy dance. I'd do it if I could feel my legs right now. Yay for me!!!
You did awesome!! What do you think about tennis after work?
