Tempo Ride
Tonight I did one of my standard training rides and tried to ride it like a temp ride (near on unsutsainable pace). I set a new personal best and I feel just great. It is amazing, there is nothing like getting on your drops and just hauling mile after mile. I did 33 miles in 1:44. Now that isn’t anything close to a compeition pace but it was really good for me. This season so far has felt a little weird over the past couple of weeks I have just felt myself getting stronger. It is pretty noticable from ride to ride (and I’m slowly getting rid of a cold). It feels like the kids in Narnia talk about when they go back in the later books and their strength slowly returns. This is gonna be a great season.
So Sunday, I was out mountain biking and my cough drop ran out on a climb and I started coughing pretty good (hacking up a lung) but I kept my pace going and didn’t let Ed get any ground on my :).
Tonight I am feeling really happy… nothing like some miles to make life feel great!
