Ok, so I’m gonna skip all the explanations as to why I haven’t been blogging and cut right to tonight’s ride summary.  I’ll do a longer post tomorrow when I’m more motivated.  Right now, I just wanted to get back in the swing of things while I’m still stoked from the ride I just finished.

Soooooo, Tonight was supposed to be a chill 60 minute “recovery” ride….

didn’t happen.

A guy in a GWU kit flew past me on my second lap at Hains Point and I couldn’t stomach it.

I reeled him back in, and then found myself cranking out another 3 laps around Hains Point trading pulls with the guy (who was obviously really fit…maybe a Cat 2-3 rider).  We were upper 20s the entire time, including about 25-26mph into the headwind on the exposed side.  I almost barfed up the 1000kc meal I wolfed down immediately after getting home from work.  It turns out that pork goyzas, dark chocolate, and milk do not mix well prior to a high intensity ride.

ok, tomorrow I promise to try and provide a recap of where the hell I’ve been for rides 106-121, discuss the bikes I’m scoping out as I plan my “comeback”, touch on some upcoming races and the silly President’s challenge competition at work.

  1. Glad to have you posting again Dan… sounds like it was a good, fun ride without much impact on the knee (hope you’re not being stoic and not telling us of the pain).

  2. no stoicism here…I think the huge dropoff in training since late April has allowed me to bounce back (fingers crossed). I always have to be cautious of the volume increases though. We’ll see how the next few weeks go. No way I’m giving up on racing though…
