Twilight Training and Quad Cramps

As I stated in rather lengthy fashion in my previous post I did some training in Columbia, Missouri this past weekend. What I did not share was that I also went back out for more with Sarah's boyfriend Brandon.
Brandon is a Senior Journalism Major at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Besides being quite a talented writer Brandon is also a very strong mountain biker.

This time we headed East of town and found ourselves again in what I felt was pretty scary traffic. We stayed on the route though and ended up getting a pretty good workout with quite a few decent hill climbs throughout the ride. Brandon did very well I thought as his mountain bike was not designed for what we were doing.

I was glad to have Brandon along. I was surprised that we were able to get about 13 miles in before it began to get a little dark. That brought my total for the day to about 43 miles.

Man.....leg cramps really can be quite painful.
