Back into big swim sets and I feel strong. Not super-strong and not overly fast, but it is getting there. I made every time standard today, and even brought that final 500 in under 7:20, which means that my hard laps were pretty quick compared to my easy ones. I really like a set like that, it helps me dig deep and attack each lap because I know I've got a cruise coming.
As for the ride, I counted and there are approximately 97,563 lights on my route into town. And every single one was red. Not a couple of them. Not one or two. Every damn one. Check out the pace graph on my Runtastic page. See all those stupid yellow peaks and valleys. That is a visual representation of GO! Pedalpedalpedalcrankcrankcrankwhatthehellyellownononononodon'tturnnoooooooRED. Very annoying. Screwed up my pace too. Nevertheless, I persevered. There are plenty of smaller bump climbs on this ride, even though the big opening is a long descent. And I have to admit something. When I go over a bumpy part of the road I make a motorcycle noise, "Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-m-m-m-m-m-m!" It keeps things fun.
