For my Saturday ride, it seemed that what I ate on Friday helped carry me through the ride with minimal nourishment needed. I indulged in some Indian food, shared a Mochilato with the wife, and then had chicken and a sweet potato for dinner. Of course, there was also the mandatory fig newtons. As a result, I only took 3 gels during the ride, with the last one more precautionary than necessary. I also only had 1 package of shot bloks. For my electrolyte drinks, it appears I only had just over 2 bottles as the 3rd bottle I prepared was still almost full when I got back. I may have to do something similar for this weekend's ride.
After resting yesterday, I felt good this morning and got in the gym and worked my chest. 5 exercises (bench, incline press, decline press, cable crossovers, and low cable crossovers). I also got my 2 core workouts done. My left elbow is still in a wrap today, but it's feeling slightly better.
During today's lunch, I'm contemplating riding my bike or doing some elliptical work. I know I want to taper a little but maybe it's too early. I'll decide last minute.
