Faster
Today was the "fast" ride, and I was doing really well untill somehow I ended up in the second spot and then pulling. I think we were a little over thirty consistently for at least a minute or two. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, (and to these guys, its not) but a minute can be a very long time depending on what you are doing. So we hit a light and then I cracked, and then I was chasing with some other people, going 25 for what seemed to be forever. I kept thinking in terms of Loxahatchee. I don't know.
What I do know is that I need to put on a little more muscle in order to keep up with these guys. Their season is winding down though, so I may have a chance to do what most cyclists around the world do all winter. No, not eat a lot of cheese. I mean, get into the gym!
So we finally caught up, but I got dropped on the incline to the finish again. It's cool though. I have long term goals in mind here.

Take your time. Just remember what Confucius said about racing: "He who start fast ......end last!!!"
Yo man, core strength. More protein in the diet while training. And there's no such thing as off season.
