Notes
Ride was supposed to be easy. Got passed by some guy at mile 8 and it was on. I told myself to just let him go (it's not a race). I was able to resist this urge for about 2 miles but that was it. Fuck him!!! I went after him hard and blew past him by mile 15 and never let my foot off the gas. The course was like nothing I get a chance to ride in CT so I said why not. Besides, there were sooo many people out riding the course that I alway had a pack to chase down and blow by. If patients is a virtue then I'm virtue-less.
While I definitely went "hard", I did stay relatively controlled. After the initial spin, I rode the last 45 miles at 70.3 pace.
