Time Trial this morning. 9miles out and back. hard core tailwind on the way out. Wicked head wind on the way back in. I rode as hard as my poor little legs would let me which still means that my heart rate was not up as high as it could have been and also that I wasn't very fast. I was, however, riding my hot orange aero orbea time trail bike with wicked vision tech bars and a tri-spoke and a disk. So basically, I LOOKED really fast and sometimes you have to settle for that.

Then I rode in the downtown crit tonight and once again was reminded that you can't be fast in a sport unless you TRAIN for it! So the crit was not very interesting because I had enough fitness that it wasn't very hard to keep up, but I didn't have enough speedy-bike-legs to sprint for anything.

And tomorrow is the road race where we get to climb! climb! climb! (which means that I will get dropped but it's still fun to climb because it's straight up hard work and there's no cycling game playing necesary.)
