The Ride: This may have been my roughest ride of the 2012. I believe it was a combination of fatigue from intervals this week and poor management of the nutrition and fluids during the ride today. Yet even as I enter today's ride data while trying to replenish the fluid and calorie loss my stomach is still feeling out of sorts. It like a phrase that I hear at work a lot, "it is what it is" and you just adapt and go on. So 88 miles in the books even though it wasn't a pretty finish and I move on.

We had a nice roll out and kept a casual conversation type of pace going north. Coming back from the store at 411 and heading back to the brewery we found out that the headwinds were coming pretty much directly at us and were fairly stiff. JB did several great and long pulls in that wind. We stopped at the Sunoco station on the return, which was about 20 miles from the finish. This is when everything started to come apart from me. I finally urged Jaimie to keep going forward at her pace since the skies ahead looked to be turning dark again. I rolled into the brewery parking lot feeling a little worse for wear. I am a bit bummed at how the day finished, but not every outing is going to be the best. I have been fortunate that this is pretty rare for me.

Post ride: I am not sure if it was something I ate or what, but the stomach ailment continues to haunt me well after the ride and there was a hint of it before the ride. Maybe something else is going on instead of what I ate or drank during the ride today.
