Nebo ride and a tricky question

Hello all!

First I will update you all on yesterday sound good? The only major thing that happened in school was I gave my presentation in health over ED's! I was nervous, especially because my partner was really upset from her class before :/ It went really well though and i think we portrayed the disease in a very clear light so I was really happy :) And I got my homework done in band so it was a good day for me =D

Then I got home from school, and I found an email from the owner of the bike shop I interviewed at. He said he wanted me to work there, and he would pay $8 an hour. Great!! But then I realized that I will be moving over the summer :/ So I told him I would love to work for him until then, but I would understand if it wouldn't work out...

So today, I had extra time in engineering today and I got to look up some cycling teams in Arizona. I found quite a few, and one that is a U23 team (under 23 years old) that is sponsored and looks so awesome. I am going to apply tomorrow :]

Lunch was a tofu and avocado sammie! Yummy!!

In Chemistry I got a quiz back and I did OK (79) I was pretty happy because chem is SO hard!! The only really interesting thing that happened was that my friend B saw me eating a few food should taste good chips left over from my lunch, and asked what they were. I told her what they were and let her have one. Then we got talking about trader joes and stuff, and she asked me how I got to like eating so healthy. I was like "....um...... It is a long story." She wanted me to tell her but I don't know what to say! I told her I would think about it. Ya, awkward, but i didn't know what to do! I can't just be like "oh yeah, I had an eating disorder for the past year and a half" and then just stop talking! What would you do?

Then NEBO training ride tonight! (Nebo Ridge is the name of the bike shop it starts from.) I felt so awesome today! I rode with G again, and it was so much fun! I ended up in the front group of like 12, and we started out with around 50 riders. I was so happy because I think they all had to be at least cat 2-3. It was exhilarating!! I got another comment from one of my teammates. He said that I have made some major gains (performance) over the past two years. WOW! He is such a strong rider, so for him to say that, I was really happy :]

overall today was a good day for me. I hope you all have a Wonderful Wednesday!!

Time Trial!!!

So I have been doing a training class at the local bike shop and today was our time trial to establish a baseline. Here are my results for the 20min time trial.

Average Speed= 19.8mph
Average Power=approx 256 watts
Average Heart rate=182bpm
Distance=6.59 miles

Max Speed=22.8mph
Max Power=352 watts
Max Heart rate=192bpm

I am pretty happy with the results and hopefully will see an improvement by the end of the eight week session.

What have you done lately that has made you proud?
