wake me up

Cause i'm wicked tired right now.

The TT went okay. Better than the last time. Not by much, but by enough to make me not feel too bad about it. About the same position (6th or so overall IIRC) at two weeks ago, just a bit faster. Still no feed back. I wonder if I took it a bit too easy at the start. Not wanting to blow up too soon, the little rises before the turn on the reynolds kind of were kicking my ass a bit.

10 seconds slower than my slowest time last year, crap. But hey at least it I'm getting closer to it. Putting some feedback I think will help, and one of these times i'll get it on there. I'm too good at deceiving myself on the bike at this point. Thinking I'm going hard enough isn't good enough. I know myself and I always tend to set the upper safety limit too low. The feedback (speed) seems to help me focus. I kept the cadence up but was a gear or two shy of where I really needed to be. Foley Ripped off a damn fine time though. A minute twenty faster than a week or so ago.

On the plus side i didn't get caught by my 30s or 60s man, and I was worried about the 60s guy. 60s guy put well over a minute into me the last time out.

Now maybe next time i'll remember to see about getting the road shoes out. The mt bike ones can't be that aero. maybe i'll have to borrow a helmet. But hell i broke into sub 19 minutes last year. I should be able to do it w/o an aero helmet.

Yeah. Introspecting on a damn weekly TT series.

That race just north of here in Attleboro is happening tomorrow. I'd sort of hoped it was going to be on the sunday again, but nope. Sort of in the back of my mind to maybe try and show up in time for the cat 4 race. We'll see though. less likely than likely at this point. The kids race conflicts with long standing plans so that's not an incentive to get there. Probably will go up and watch a team mate compete in the 70.3 race.

I wish the WMSR wasn't #1 so far north/the other side of boston #2 at a time when working people could actually get there. I had fun at the race when i did it, but the driving wrecked me to get there. Can't be a working man and take the week off to do it either.

Riding home last night as the sun was setting a bit behind me, glaced over at the lighthouse and realized, i haven't taken any pictures lately.

I've got a feeling about the knee problem. Going to try something for a bit to see if I can eliminate the inflammation problem. The break last week didn't really help.

And hey, what do you know. There's a headwind. And it is warm and sunny. Gonna be a damn crowded ride home. Just gotta take it slow and mellow and not let the hoards of people packing a few too many pounds out "exercising" get to me. Zen, chill, relax.
