Salt Lake Century

This time last year Chris and I completed our first 100+ mile bike ride. This year circumstances were different. I'm six months pregnant and very rainy weather prevented Chris from getting a lot of miles in, so we opted for shorter rides this year. Chris completed a lonely 72 miles, relatively pain free thanks to an awesome bike fit. I rode 35 miles with my sister-in-law Shelly. We weren't breaking any speed records, but we did enjoy the amazing weather. At around 10 miles in I made friends with a pothole when I wasn't paying attention and went down. Luckily (and unluckily) a lot of my pregnancy weight has settled on my tush, which is mostly where I hit. I have a scrapped elbow and knee but no other injuries. I popped back up and finished the ride. Shelly and I enjoyed our post ride lunch, popsicle and massage but decided we probably shouldn't ride together for awhile since my last 2 crashes have been around her. Chris and I spent the rest of the day limping through furniture stores and going to bed early. The next day I felt like I'd been hit by a truck, but I'm still glad I did it. I'm grateful to still be able to be so active. The baby didn't mind my adventure and rewarded me by jumping on my bladder and consistent hard kicking.
