Not a single Strava cup this morning. On the bright side I passed every blinking red light I saw in front of me. Each time I closed, I would pass and the other rider popped. I was breathing heavy, but they were done. However, I wasn't chasing them. Rather, I thought I had seen three friends ride by my starting point as I pulled up in my car. So in my efforts to chase them down I exhausted myself. My 30 mile planned ride became a one hour leg burner. After failing to catch those three I folded and headed straight to work. Later I discovered that the friends I were chasing weren't actually those particular riders. No problem. Speed training is all part of the game for this year. So for now, I'll reward myself with a cup of coffee. Actually, make that two cups please. One for each leg.
