We had a "time trial" ride around Mercer Island to see which training groups we should break up into. It is amazing how much my ego is wrapped up in how I compare to other people. I firmly believed that I should ride at the "conversational pace" they recommend to best gauge my appropriate starting training pace, but I really want to WIN! And it's been a while since I've really ridden on a regular basis, so I'm not happy with the numbers on my speedometer. Settle down, lady. I know better than to push too hard at the beginning of any ride; a lesson too hard learned to repeat.But it felt great to get out there and push it!! And then I ate grilled cheese with my niece and nephew and skipped caucusing. Not a bad day.
