Maybe diet root beer was just super carbonated. Or maybe it was all of the aspartame.

When I train I often eat Cliff Bars, too. And Cliff Shot makes gels of entirely organic foods - I think that is super cool.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-53873953940201599982012-06-28T04:55:30.460+02:002012-06-28T04:55:30.460+02:00Olga, just saw the results and my time was only go...Olga, just saw the results and my time was only good enough for 4th out of 59 women this year.

Girl, I would think the same thing if I had never been to "the driftless area" where we live, but Greg Le Monde used to live and train here because we have some of the steepest hills in the world. They don't go up for as long a time as mountains, but the climbs are often harder. Our climbs on Saturday had a steeper grade than any point on the Alpe D'Huez in the Tour. Trust me - I have also cycled in mountains and the hills near Viroqua are killer. Have you ever experienced a 24% grade hill??!! I'm going to add an altitude profile for the race now.sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-5378465084149120382012-06-25T19:24:01.769+02:002012-06-25T19:24:01.769+02:00Happy Birthday!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
...What a fun birthday!!!!<br /><br />And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!<br /><br /><br />PS: I think that every bike race in Midwest that has at least a few "hills" in it is called "the toughest", "mountain mayhem" or something similar. It is quite funny because for someone coming from a hilly region all those "tough" hills are just mole bumps. I was cracking up when I did a bike race in Michigan that was supposed to be hilly:)mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-54013933418738332012012-06-25T11:41:55.033+02:002012-06-25T11:41:55.033+02:00Sounds like the best birthday ever!

There's no way I'll leave your blog - I'm in for any fun your'e up to!<br />By the way, all this soda talk. Actually I now realize that I always get constipated (like in seriously) when drinking a lot of sparkling water - so there must be something funny about that stuff. Pity - I like it....<br />And are you still fuelling on chocolate when racing (running)? Or any better options?Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000695114298710579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-21474965263472615022012-06-25T09:19:36.884+02:002012-06-25T09:19:36.884+02:00Happy belated birthday!

I hate seeing so many cyclists from my home office's window in our new home and not being able to go...).Mapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342013052075227227noreply@blogger.com
