panda portrait style
Goal was to capture the trailer (evidence that I was towing trailer on the way to work i the lack of backpack/messenger bag) and i just barely did (under the left arm).
Caught a glimpse of a kitted up commuter catching (in kit with backpack, on a carbon specialized w/full size frame pump) me, he passed and proceeded to up the tempo. My chill morning ride at 10-12 mph up the false flat with a HR around 80 was just a warm up. He went around and I sat about 20 yards back matching pace. Which cranked up to about 24 and was never slower than 20. And yes. I put rocks in there today. Couldn't pass up the ride or the unwitting training partner.
He pulled off the path just as a co-worker caught me. M saw the trailer and was gaining ground until I picked up the pace. He was dripping with sweat after the catch. And not having seen him on the path in a while we rode in, chill-like chatting. Except for the little hill, drilled it up that. Felt good on the bike.
Applying more coffee now.
