Haha, I thought everyone would be bored to tears by now.

Things are going super well...I just got back from my second Tuesday night race with the club. With the C group again (of course)...finished in the first of two packs. I even tried to launch a solo attack towards the end but I misjudged the distance left and was caught. Oops, rookie mistake! Need to get the course layout down pat first...Anyways I was very happy with how it went, and the speed was high. Don't know how fast we were moving exactly, never bothered to look at my computer.

Last week's TT was pretty darn interesting...and funny. A few minutes before the start I was tightening up my seat post collar when the bolt snapped in two (later discovered that it had seized up...the bike shop who built my bike didn't lube it at all). Not something people tend to have extras of. Uh oh! Well, lucky me, the resident guru/local bike shop owner/winner of the New York State TTs had his regular road bike in the car and we happen to be similar sizes. So I got to ride his carbon fiber Felt which just screams FAST. Problem is, I was on his Speedplay pedals with his shoes and as we all know one should practice with new pedals a bit before shoving off. Well I gave it a go in the parking lot and couldn't get my left foot out quickly enough and poof! Fell over in slo-mo. Couldn't get my left foot out while on the ground either so two people helped me up while still clipped in! Ayyyyyy. Good thing I have no problem laughing at myself...it was a pretty hilarious situation. Even without getting a chance to warm up, the TT went soooooo well. His bike didn't have a computer but I think I cut my time over the last outing by more than a minute. I don't know how much that was because his bike is screaming fast & light or because my legs are getting in shape!

Besides these racescapades...
Went on my longest ride yet the other weekend, 57 miles...by mistake. Missed a turn (don't trust Google Maps!) and ended up adding 17 miles or so but I was sort of familiar with the area so I wasn't worried. It was a beautiful day so it turned out well. Good thing I had money with me for snacks...

So I'm getting faster and adding miles and things are looking good! Wooooooo.
