Woot! Old La Honda is behind us now. Didn't do too bad, 21:48 on my GPS (bridge to stop sign). Only beat my PR by 2 seconds, but I definitely felt more spent after the ride than last time. The race atmosphere just doesn't do much for me, it seems. (The website has me for 21:53.)
Krishna came out today and rode a stunning 17:09!!! He put down category "Unreformed Mt Biker". I should have thought of that (instead of my boring 35+)! I also ran into a few other acquaintances (through Low Key last year). When I told Janet (the women's 1st place today) that I had been mostly mountain biking, she said, "ahhh... cross training!" That statement made me laugh because I never saw it that way. After topping out, I went for a fun mountain bike ride -- cross training -- at Skeggs.
