Snap

there was a good bit of snap in the legs this morning. Felt nice.

Perfect morning riding in, not alone either. Saw a few other people on the path on bikes. It was good.

Last night's pick up was fun too. Headed home and was expecting a headwind like there almost always is off the water when it gets that hot, but found a slight cross tailwind. Turning over the 46x12 was pretty easy. Grabbed the trailer, let the dog out and rode down to pick up the little one at Camp.

Last summer she would fold her arms across the handle bar on the trail-a-bike and rest her head riding home because she was so tired. So that's why I went with the trailer, she was indeed pooped. But with the headwind she cooled off and was in remarkable spirits when we got home. And my legs didn't feel like junk. yeah I suck compared to Results boy and his 8.3 w/kg over 30 seconds. No wonder. But like I said in my comments. What I feel I don't have compared to mid-CX season is power and sprint. Stuff that seems to develop with good sprint workouts, high short intensity stuff. I haven't been focusing on that. Sure maybe I should be building it all year. But part of my uncoachability and desire to figure it out myself first hand leads me to want to test the theory. I guess if I really wanted to test it I would have to also try actually doing those workouts much earlier. Maybe that's next years plan. Who knows.

Got a ton of pictures still to sort through, should work on getting at least a representative of them all up before I completely forget the context of the photo.

Oh yeah - smack down tonight. Keith Kelly has threatened to show up and rip everyone's legs off. I can't make it. Got something important to pick up from the Y camp instead.
