practice crit last night, steep hill on the course so no rest for the wicked. I attacked hard at like 10 minutes in and got 10 seconds, was soon joined by two. we lasted a few laps but got caught. my HR never really recovered. If it was like 5 beats lower at the bottom and top of the hill each lap, it would have been a different race for me. Maybe that afternoon coffee wasn't a good idea, given the heat. Or maybe I just wasn't on a great day. I'm on a rest week anyway, prob should have skipped that race. But it was the last one and I wanted to support it.

It was hot last night too and my wife didn't want to use the AC so I slept like crap. Not mad, just sayin'. Off tomorrow, team ride of ~50 miles Sunday, conversational pace.
