Beautiful weather dry and sunny. Not too hot, not too windy. I had a really good ride. I took down a segment that I have attempted a few times. I kind of died at the end and thought I missed it, but I got it by 2 seconds.

2 x 20' w/ 7' recovery

Warmed up about 50' to Stony Creek and did my first outside interval session. I was shooting for 235-245ish, which is about 93-95% of FTP when last tested. I was under that by a bit, but I did have anything on for lap average only 3 second average

Lap 1: 222 watts; HR 166; 19.3 MPH

Lap 2: 229 watts; HR 169; 19.9 MPH

Cooled down back home. I saw a runner on Avon who look super lean and fast and thought, "That can only be Mike Morgan." And it was. You don't see too many 2:15 marathoners in the wild, though Desi Linden does have a house out on the dirt roads, which I am sure I pass right by.

Thursday Night Dirt with a full crew. I led B group, but somehow ended up doing more work as I was checking on people with flats and trying to make sure no one got left behind. Had to work to get back to the group. We stopped toward the end of the ride and had a few beers and someone had had pizza delivered. Things felt normal and we had a good time. Rode to the ride and rode home for some extra saddle time.
