26 miles
|
22.4 miles @ 22.2mph avg. I didn't pay attention in the 2nd race and the wheel in front of me let a gap open and OTB I was :mad:
First race I just hammered for the first 4 laps and was OTF until the pack caught up. It was a good feeling of pain right from the start. Just wanted to see if I could recover after the pack caught up with me and made sure I wouldn't be flung OTB. |

nice and easy effort. i have some issues with this weather though. WTF? comes to mind. its August and i am wondering where the heat and dead calm is? Spring was cold and wet. now, we have August mornings with 50 degree temps and 10 mph winds out of the east. i want some freaking summer weather, not fall, in August. i am sure i am in the minority here. later. |
no I did not ride... nor did I run:crash: I spent the last two days doing much needed laundry (because my weekends are 24/7 crazy life crazy life)...
... but I will run tomorrow even if it kills me... or kills the much needed other household chores. Gosh I wish I wasn't so much against a maid... seriously, a single woman hiring a maid... NOW THAT IS WRONG!... or is it?:roflmao2: |
28mi Friday 20mi after work this morning. I think the 20mi is going to be my new route home weather permitting. Someone said the Farmer's Almanac is predicting a colder and snowier winter this year.

http://gallery.geekazoids.net/d/13983-1/IMG3831.jpg At least I had my cell phone with me and my wife was able to pick me and my broken steed up :( |
32.09 miles. I started the ride in rain, and ended in rain.
-Great ride -Three climbs where I exerted myself -My legs aren't back to 100% after last night's crit. I probably need another massage -My brain is out of control, I'm going international next year with my racing. |
OHHHHHHH SNAP!

My brain read "Wanted to do Abu graib ride", which of course, would have been out of Iraq, not Batavia, and would have required a Humvee and body armor (available at Performance). And never, never try "snealing" out during lunch;) |
