Yesterday was some short intervals, seemed pretty easy, I had trouble containing myself. Well, I didn't fully contain myself actually.
Today I was supposed to do a mellow group ride, but the problem with that is if I try to be mellow on my Thursday night group ride, I'll be riding solo starting 5 min in. So I rustled up a non-Nightcrawler friend for a little sunrise climby thing. Mellow chatty pace, I haven't done that in awhile, it was pretty pleasant actually. His dog has cancer, Thorfin Sasquatch is trying to follow me on Strava, we're both looking forward to GMR on Fourth of July, remember that time he got ahead of us on the descent, made a wrong turn, got off course, broke his chain and had to call his wife to come get him, which was a two hour drive? Meanwhile, we were about to send out a search party when we got back to the cars and there was no sign of him? Good times.
Also: another woman signed up for the NoCal TT. That makes 7 of us. She's another triathlete, but mostly a runner. Can't find many results of hers, so she's an unknown. Her bio on the running club website says she does "TTs in the summer". But obviously not USAC races.
Been crazy at work & we'd like to hit the road early in the am to head up to Reno. Who knows when we'll actually get going, though? Sat am, I'll go ride openers on the course and survey the scene.
Weather still looks great for Sunday.
