PM: 90' on the fat bike. HR 172.
Today was the right choice to do the first segment in the winter fat bike race series. Unfortunately, everyone was out and everyone was passing me. Good to see a few people I knew.
The roads were in very solid shape, so I rode there. It was an insanely hilly segment. My buddy Mike passed me and told me my tire was low, which I knew. It seemed to get worse, so I stopped and hit it with some CO2, which apprently is something you are supposed to do in the winter (I missed that physics lesson I guess). I used my small hand pump but nothing seemd to work. I had a tube but was done for the day. Called Megan and she loaded up the boys. This is why I don't ride outside that much. Oh well. I was starting to get very cold and was starting to get pretty out of it by the time she got there.
I managed to finish the segment, which I thought I missed, but paid huge time penalties for stoppage.
