Spent a good deal of the day working and going back and forth with students over email. Got in 60' before picking up the boys. I was up until 2:00AM getting grades in. Not as good as my last few semesters. Oh well. Got it done before the 10:00 AM deadline.

Zwift Race # 1 of 2023/2024 Season

Marking this as an arbitrary starting point. I do them here and there and was decently consistent early last winter. This was about a 30' race. Wanted to push harder at the beginning bit bike racing is very different than running races. I will likely try to repeat this race throughout the first few weeks of the next semester while the boys are napping as I did today.

20' up/20' down and 31:08 @ 275 wattts/168 BPM

Race was a pretty decent field with 122ish people. 

I was going to try to run when Megan got home, but I was pretty wiped out. Got my Lawrence Tech grades submitted and that felt good.

Pretty nice out. Some slick spots, but mangeable. I was going to do the fat bike segment for the winter fat bike series, but just didn't feel like it even though it is only a few minutes away. Don't think I will get to it before we leave for Maine.

Felt generally decent on the run. Illness is finally gone I think. We are leaving for Maine on Friday. The boys are going to be in school one more day we decided, which I think is needed.

PM: 60' on the trainer. 211W. HR 145.

Travel to Maine. I slept quite a bit. Boys did great. We got in around 8:45 I think.

Ran from my mom's house. Pretty good run. Slightly chilly but it felt good to get some air.
