Bike Nutrition

What a great 32 mile bike ride I had yesterday! Usually I am out of energy by the time I hit the neighborhood on my way back into Belin Park...BUT NOT YESTERDAY!!!! I may have found the secret! I took 3 shot blocks every 10 miles and ate a peanut butter and pretzel mojo bar at the halfway point. I felt so good I did a 3.5 mile brick run when I was finished. I know some people are thinking that I was taking in a lot...but when you are bigger, you need more nutrition while exercising. Nothing is worse than having your stomach start growling at you when you still have 15 miles to ride. My stomach didn't growl until 5 minutes before I finished running! Thanks to Melissa and Meera for a great ride!
