So again, there is lots to say and not enough time to say it. Still need to recap CapTex so I can remember what went right and what went wrong and what not to do and what to do. But it's still relatively fresh in my mind so that can wait. I did the Real Ale Ride out in Blanco, TX, yesterday. No one told me about all those hills! But then again it is Hill Country after all. It was a hot day and a hilly ride, but I felt strong and had a good ride. The first 15 miles were fast, the next 15 miles were slower including having my chain fall off while going up a hill. The next 10 miles were the worst - people were all spread out and it was lonely. The last 26 miles were better as I found some people to talk to. They do triathlons and were a good source of some information. And I got some compliments about being a strong rider! So that made me happy. Although I don't feel I am that strong, a showdown against a coworker of mine will be more of a true test.
Today I did a short ride with a coworker/friend at 7am. Painful ride, but some good conversation. And then I did a 12-13 mile run to prepare for Buffalo Springs. Run felt good enough considering it was definitely warming up.
