    So... I was talkin' to my LBS guy tonight* and I told him "Oh, I won on Sunday!" and he says "I'm not surprised," and I said "And I beat Jay, too, and somebody told me his ego was a little bruised, " [you wouldn't have known it] and he said he knew it was 'cause he was there when Jay signed up, 'cause he'd told Jay that I'd beaten him by two seconds last time and he had a little trouble with that ... welp, ladies, I'm just gonna have to work **hard** this month, I s'pose, 'cause I think the man will come back loaded for bear

    Whew! I went to the training ride tonight and it was the Carmichael one with 7 x 2 minute repeats, one minute "recovery" between for the start and a couple other sets like that.
    Perfect chance to put my wattage where my mouth is... so I simply added 10 bpm to what I"d have done those intervals in on the ol' heart rate monitor. I was a lot more tired by that third set of intervals
    A little extra motivation, though, 'cause I got *lots* of lauds and congrats for winning my race... I kinda got the feeling that there was some extra satisfaction for them because it was this particular guy. (Duh... so this is what happens to people who are on teams and they're the ones that win sometimes ... I've always been the one with the sportsmanship award for tryin' hard ... so ladies, if I can do it, maybe you can too )
