183 today - up about 6 lbs! Wha' happened?
Well, did a very good 'century' ride on saturday, and set a personal best fastest time - 102 miles in 5h29m. Very pleasing. I think I overshot my salt consumption and undershot my fluids. I weighed the same before and after the race, which was good - usually I drop 3-5 lbs indicating dehydration. I was still super thirsty and drank a lot saturday and sunday... so I'm up a lot between water retention for muscle repair and water retention due to salt. I'm in a mental place where I feel like I know what's going on so the scale doesn't bother me - I still logged all food and I know I burned more calories than I ate over the past 3 days.

I'm up almost 2 lbs in 2 days. I think I'm dealing with some water/fluid retention, too.
I'll keep on this path with a few alterations to get rid of some food that made its way into my week off OH.
Snowing. No snow day. Urg.

Snow, ug. Been raining a lot here and terrifically windy - although that's normal for April/May. A real paucity of "nice" days though... usually by now we're starting to have some really nice days here and there... not so much. Went to a comedy show last night, came out and it was pouring rain... of course we came out the wrong door of the theater - we parked about 10 feet from the "right" door, had to walk around the block from the door we used...
