A day dawned for a challenge today, I decided to ride from home to Dads. Ngakuru, Rotorua to Tauranga.
86.86km, 3hrs 11mins 26secs, Avg 27.2km/h, Max 75km/h
Aim of todays ride was training and to see how I was going for the 100k Flyer (04/04/2009 Rotorua to Taupo), I have set myself a time goal of 3hrs 20 mins. On todays ride I think that I will now reset my goal time too 3hrs.
Felt great to do a ride of this distance and time, good to see how the body copes with extended time on the bike. Also used todays ride to try a new electrolyte replacement drink and gel carb squeezies, both of which worked well and I felt definite benefit from using them.
The products tryed today were;
Balance Muscle Technology Endurance Elite Fuel Supply Restore Energy Powder for Isotonic re-hydration, Electrolyte and amino recovery and Restores cellular balance fast. Berry blast flavour.
Balance Muscle Technology Endurance Elite Fuel Supply Squeezepacks for Ultimate energy boost, which is Fast absorbing, Ideal for intense and prolonged exercise, with great taste (this last point is debatable though it isn’t as bad as some products I have tryed in the past). Tropical crush flavour.
Both products are made in NZ for Nutra-Life Health and Fitness.
