After the evil agonizing ride of a couple of weeks ago, I'm very happy to say that all is right between me and the bike. Our differences are resolved and we are a harmonious team once again. This is a good thing.
They've posted up the schedule for Master's Nationals. I'm glad that I will get my racing done in two days now instead of having to be out there for a week. Still have to get out there ahead of the TT. It's a new course, so a pre-ride is absolutely necessary. And that ride will get the drive out of my legs (though I plan to drive with my recovery tights on!).
I am happy to know that I will not be doing the Tour of Washington County Stage Race. It really wasn't any fun last year and there's absolutely no point in doing it this year when it's time based. I probably wouldn't make the time cut from the RR to even get to the TT and Crit, so no need to waste the time and money.
"Think about it - how long would you last doing intervals with no rest?" (I won't name names on who typed that but some of you might recognize it.) Stuff like this cracks me up. Intervals with no rest aren't intervals, it become a sustained effort when there's no rest. Like duh. How long would you last doing a sustained effort? Most of us do it for about an hour or so in the form of a 40km TT. It's not really what the author of the statement was trying to say, but that's how it came out. And that amuses me.
