5000 Calories

That's how much my Garmin said I burned on my 70 mile bike ride today. Still recovering from Thursday so I went out with the 18mph group today rather than the 21mph group. The ride was 2 mph slower than last Saturday's PR on approximately the same route. I did win the group sprint up Egret Bay bridge. I also had two flat tires and fell due to the first one. It was a fall while stopping as the road was wet. No damage done, I seem to know how to fall. It was my first and only fall in 2008. I've now fallen twice biking and twice running in my soon to be four year athletic career. One fall a year is too many. One fall a decade is better but no falls ever is the expected target.
