What a busy week. So sick of my spreadsheet I've been making all week, and then stuff is just blowing up at work back home too. Came home and worked a little, then went out and did 15 miles of biking, and now back to working. Hopefully Justin will get here soon and rescue me. 15 miles of biking around the neighborhood. That is an important note. This was NOT the Esplanade. There were hills, and lots of stop signs and turn arounds. Keep that in mind and continue reading.
TT: 58:29 Splits: 14.0, 16.3, 15.8, 15.5, 14.5, 14.0, 17.3, 15.5, 15.3, 14.3, 16.4, 16.2, 15.6, 16.4 Notice something different? I AM FASTER! And this is even considering the stopping! Now while I would love to take credit for improvement, I have a different secret. I raised my bike seat about 2 inches! I've been meaning to do this for ages, but mostly because I thought it was aggravating my ITB, but it turns out it was hindering my speed too! I felt much more powerful today and really enjoyed it a lot more. I think all my 'potential energy' or something else I learned in physics but forgot wasn't being transferred. Kind of like the fulcrum being in the wrong place in a pulley, or something else totally wrong! My dad, who is actually likely reading this right now, is probably sooo ashamed of my lack of engineering knowledge. Anyway, I was pumped!
