With Joseph telling us the tales of his heroic efforts in Norwegian
cycling, I thought I'd tell mine.
20 k TT on Sunday: riding my octospeed Pinarello, finished dead last in
Cat 4. Race re****t: starter said go, I went really hard, then I pedaled
hard, then I pedaled hard, then the TT ended.
Tonight: WTNC training crit. I did a long and absurdly intense commute
to the crit, then rode the crit, blowing up after 3 laps, then I joined
a chase group of 3, and blew up again just after getting passed by my
pack as the bell rang. Then I rode home, so screwed up that I stopped
for a 700 mL Coke, drank it all in about 2 minutes, then I rode a while,
stopped for an espresso, and then I got home.
I don't ever remember being so mental on a ride. But it was a good,
I-got-a-hard-workout mental feeling.
