Awesome day
I had a really great ride on Tuesday. I woke up at 10 minutes before the alarm went off at 4:30 and got up to where I normally park about 15 minutes early. That gave me enough time to get in three 5 minute intervals on Kings, and climb some more before I had to turn around to get to the start of the group ride. I went well on the intervals, the first time that’s happened all year. I did ok on the big climb in the group ride. It started raining but it was a light rain that didn’t get the pavement wet. By the end of the ride on the descent down 84 the pavement was wet, and I pulled away from the riders who were left. They’re usually faster than I am down this descent but I don’t slow down as much in the wet. It still wasn’t all that wet out so even though I didn’t have the fenders on, or a rain jacket, I was fine.
I got to work and was working (on something interesting) by 10am. I did close to three hours, 40 miles and 5000′ of climbing before work. Now that’s the way to start the day.
