Ah, the biking shorts. If I ever needed any motivation to keep training, the biking shorts has surpassed it all. An aching need to keep up with my teammates and train for a good cause has been temporarily replaced by the horror that is spandex.
The good news is, even though its a selfish and purely cosmetic desire, the need to "look good" in my new biking shorts has spurred even more intensity in my training. On the 4th of July, when the rest of the country slept late and then ate hamburgers, I woke up at 6am and biked 35 miles with a group of intense bikers that I had no business biking with :) They all biked 50 miles and still beat me back to the end location, but I was still happy with my biking success and the fact that I made it back in one piece.
*NOTE: Following my ride, I was so hungry, that I immediately ate lunch, followed by 3 muffins and a whole row of Fig Newton cookies. Hence, while the ride was successful, little progress was made toward bettering my biking shorts physique.
