Warning Another Bikie Related journal:

So I have been training on the bike 2-3 times a week and have been getting in some really good workouts. I have been ingorning all else for it (well it and my PhillyNORML obligations) So I decided to travel with the Drexel Cycling team to Boston this past weekend to try my hand at racing again (My first race involved me flatting halfway through as I was catching back up to the main group)
We left Philly Friday at 6p or so, arrived at the hotel 11:30 where we fit 14 people in 2 rooms we get to bed at midnight only to get woken up at 1a by another team member who decided to drive up later. Wake up at 5am to leave by 6a. I stand around all day cheering on the team while freezing my butt off. (i can't race on saturday because i'm not a college student). Finally leave the race course at 6p, after other adventures and a home-cooked meal we squeeze all 14 of us into various nooks and crannies in a relatively small house and getto bed at a reasonable 10-11pm.
Wake up on Sunday early as hell again (don't remember the exact time, but it was still dark) get to the new race course around 7am, where i get to cheer people on until 3:15p when I get to race. When the fateful time arrives I line up with everyone else waiting for the start whistle, and we're off. I stay with the lead group for about a lap and a half (1km loop with 6 90degree turns, 4 of them involving hills in some way) when my left knee decides it doesn't like me anymore and wants to take the day off. I push through the rest of the lap and watch the main group pull away. I try to take it a little easy during the next lap and not get too far behind but after a few laps off the back the officials pull me from the course (because apparently i was dropping too far back and the lead group was too close to lapping me) so i pulled off and cooled off a little bit to help my knee recover. so the stats for the weekend
Driving miles: 650-700
driving hours: 14-16
sleep hours: 10-12
miles raced: ~2-3
minutes raced: 15
On a scale of 1-10: non-racing:8 racing:2


And i still haven't had a chance to look at my heart rate monitor to see what my average and Max heart rates were for the time on the bike. I'm scared it's going to be something like 190-200 (the most i have ever seen in training is 185)
