I was very nervous about todays ride. I didn't do squats and I didn't stay out drinking on Saturday which meant I would have to perform better this time. I hadn't done as well as I'd hoped in either of the spin classes I did this week and overall I just felt sluggish. I didn't sleep well Saturday night either which only made me more nervous.
I got there early and started setting up waiting for more people to arrive. My plan was to warm up around the parking lot. Instead I noticed the seam on my brand new cycling shirt was coming undone so I ended up fixing it while I should have been warming up. Many of the beginners wanted to do the intermediate ride and there were more ride leaders than before so all of the beginners did the longer distance.
This time I kept up with the pack pretty well. I still fell behind towards the turn around point but not as much as last time. I certainly wasn't nearly as tired. We also stopped more than we did the first time and I'm pretty sure we went slower too. I can't tell because I don't have a cycling computer yet.
So in 6 days I will ride in the livestrong challenge. It definitely feels like it will be a challenge too.
