AM: 1 hour 52' on the mountain bike. 29 miles @ 15.4 MPH. 215W. HR 146. 

60' @ Iceman Race Effort

244W. HR 157. HR was pretty steady throughout. HR will hopefully be higher than that during the race, but the legs weren't really ready for a workout. 

Challenging, but manageable. Did this on the loop at Orion Oaks. Went to Friendship Park for a little bit of skills work. Got blasted by black exhaust on the way back by some idiot in a truck, which could only have been intentional, as he stepped on it through a temporary work zone. Days like this make me want to drink, but I don't because I know it won't change anything, but it really gets me. I wasn't even in the road (which still wouldn't make it right).
