It was way too nice not to get a long ride in. Legs felt decent actually. Much better really than I would have hoped. I kept the effort easy but not doddling. Roads were in great shape.

Legs didn't have much pop, but that was to be expected for a 2 hour bike race followed by a 4+ hour ride. 

PM: 60' on the trainer. 226W. HR 128.

Needed to get in some saddle time with the election stuff. Had an okay day with the boys, but it was hard to be patient and focus.

I am not sure why I thought the election would go differently than it did. The boys have picked up on the election stuff, so we have tried to explain it to them a bit.

Morning run was pleasant. Quite humid and warm, but not complaining.

PM: 4.1 miles, averaged 8:51. HR 137.

Slept until 10:30, which was absolutely glorious. Megan is headed to a girls weekend, so I have the boys for the night and all day Saturday. 

Did a group ride, or most of it. I thought I was getting dropped, but I was actually chasing the group ahead of me I think. I don't know. Pushed solid tempo for 2 hours with a decent HR. 7' up/10' down.
