Satuday was exhausting. Not because of the cold.
Just, completely non-stop, all out, moments of absolute intensity, and just left me wiped out. Didn't even ride.
Sunday got up early, got some coffee in me, packed the Top Fuel, ate an old bagel with some butter on it, headed to world's watch party, drank more coffee, hung out with friends, watched the race, then headed off to Big River. Chased Donny, Betty, Noah and Colin along with Syl. They were hammering and I think i was a bit underfueled, tired and just slightly off, but those four are all really fast and young and yeah. Only saving grace was when we hit the technical stuff, I was able to easily, very easily keep up, was at least some level of positive take away from it all. Could have probably eaten more before hand, i did snack on some expired cliff blocks during the ride. Ate a lot the night before so that was good to burn through some of that fuel. wasn't a total waste but it was tough. Syl and I missed one of their turns after a bit of a climb (no surprise) and we just turned around and headed back. Got enough pedaling in. I was so smoked the rest of the day.
Still pretty tired. Having to get ready to teach, so instead of making sure everything's ready I'm sitting here.
The ride was crazy, we got insanely hot mid-way through, then it started to cool off again. What a change from the day before. Or the ride home on Friday.
Need to probably shift back to full speed mode.
Going to leave this here because it is so visually spectacular... this planet is crazy and amazing and gorgeous.
