expected it - but it surprises me everytime...
probably good that I'm not there in person, would have been worse maybe
Was trying to get to work to watch it live - left a few minutes too late, but felt like maybe if I was riding hard at the same time she was racing maybe there's some quantum entaglement boost? And then I thought about that and realized if there is I better take it down a notch during the race so I don't take anything away. Contemplated stopping on the linear park and watching the live feed on my phone but man I'm glad I went to work, cued up the live stream and re-wound it to the start of their race and made it full screen.
And holy shit, damn. I was standing up the whole time and it is now half hour later and I'm still wound up from it.
Pretty close to the most stressful seven minutes thirty eight seconds and it ended with a photo finish!!!
That top boat was in a distant 4th just before the 500 meter mark. the red hull (3) moves on to the grand finals. White hull (5) goes to petit finals.That difference is 0.132 of a second
okay so... man what a way to start the day. Yikes.
(race is on replay for now: https://youtu.be/dKyVl_sD4vs?t=2645 that link should cue it up to the start of her race)
Tailwind commute last night - hit 173prm with the big 180s. Who says you can't spin long cranks. Well maybe you can't. My backpack was even rock steady on my back doing that.
Pushed it this morning, took it down a tiny bit, dropped the power and upped the candence a little (knee) and the big fast dude always crushing it on the super fancy Checkpoint SLR rode past but not that fast and I just said fuck it and stayed with him. check the strava, it is different.
Got me thinking, I can do a hell of a lot just by smashing the commutes. So, I'm going to smash the commutes.
Been checked HRV in the morning. And it is in the green range but just barely. Bonus I'm seeing a 44 HR after waking up, so not bad. Probably should get a real way to monitor, a BT hr strap or something.
Should have kept the HR on while watching the race. Yikes. Maybe a BP monitor too.
Time to move on with the day if possible.
