Notes

TO WORK leg ==> Time: 38:56, Distance: 10.626, average speed: 16.38

Temp: 65° AVG HR: 160, MAX: 174

Today I just wanted to get to work... no issues, no rush, no nothing. Again, plan foiled. I was doing pretty good, not really thinking about how hard I was going and trying to just take it easy. Then at the Chili Road crossing, Jason Elias pulled up behind me. I then rode with him the rest of the way to work. He rides fast. A lot faster than I do, and a lot faster than I wanted to ride today. So, because we were having a nice conversation and stuff, I just tried to keep up. It wasn't terrible, but it was faster and harder effort than I wanted to go. A good ride, but not what I wanted.

TO HOME leg ==> Time: 39:14, Distance: 10.677, average speed: 16.33

Temp: 90° AVG HR: 162, MAX: 173

I got out of work late today, had a really rough day, was tired and kind of angry at the end of the day and then to top it off, it was STIFLING HOT (90º) and REALLY HUMID. I pretty much just didn't want to ride home. I just wanted to coast. So I did. I didn't care what happened, just rode. My HR was way high, effort was pretty high, despite riding slow, and pretty much was a sweaty tired mess when I got home. Not fun.

Sleep: decent (bed at 12:00am, wake at 6:30am)

Mood: a bit on the out of sorts side

Physical: no complaints, just a little tired

Clothes: (to work) black Trek shorts, yellow 'firecracker' shortsleeve (perfect)

(back home) black Trek shorts, yellow 'firecracker' shortsleeve (perfect)
