Brick Training

Wow!  Last night's brick training was great.  Quite honestly when I got in the car at 5pm and it still read 100 on my car's thermometer, I was less than happy to go.  When I got there I just couldn't bring myself to do the same small loop 5 or 6 times, so I did two bigger loops around NASA.  That was much better.

The first loop I took at a decent pace, but then two faster riders from my club caught me at the beginning of the 2nd loop.  So I decided I would try to keep up with them.  I managed to stay within 30 to 40 yards of them the entire way.  It's not like I was right on top of them, but at least I didn't see them taking off into the sunset!

My run was good too!  I was supposed to do a negative split run by 2 minutes.  I've done it once, but generally missing by 15 to 30 seconds.  Last night I did my run with a 2:22 negative split -- and felt really good, walking very little.

Have to celebrate the little victories!  :)

Oh!  And my "Kinder Ninja" earned her Yellow Belt last night!  Cassie is on the left.
