Rides - September 11th, Monday

[KnottedYet]

The commute today, as per usual. B U T, this time I stayed in the big ring all the way to work! Zooom!

Breezy and cool, with a fabulous beach-smell and you could see the ferry coming in as I whooshed through town.

32 minutes of single track on our acreage after work. Not very long, but I crashed trying to work on slow-speed tight turns (for some reason tight left-hand turns give me much more difficulty than right-hand turns, so I was working on those). I didn't hurt myself too bad, but will have a new crop of bruises. I decided to quit while I was ahead.

On a more positive note, I felt strong the entire time, climbed well, my breathing was great. I started Advair a couple of weeks ago, and I think it's really helping. I am not huffing and puffing so much, and my HR is lower than before on these same trails and with the same effort level. Fun!

I also got to try out my new Cateye Mity 8 computer - it rocks! I averaged 6 mph for the ride, including some slow-speed maneuvers and my fall, so not too bad.
