Change of Pace

It was KFC on Sunday. No not the delictable tasty fried chicken treat, but the Katy Flatland Century ride! I'm in a base phase right now for the fall season. So, when my friend Jane suggested it, I jumped at the chance. Turned out to be the perfect idea.

I rode with Jane at what felt like a pretty relaxing pace. Then around 80miles Jane starts speeding up! Here she is riding away...



I did catch up... and she pulled me and another guy all the way to the next rest station. I think she spent the first 80 just warming up. Here's the after shot evidence...



I'm looking rather haggared, aren't I? Of course Jane's an IM triathelete, so this distance is just a good start for her! I have a world of respect for what she does.

I don't typically do rides this long. But I rather enjoyed it.The legs actually feel better ride/recover cycle than they did before. Which is making me wonder if I've neglected to do enough endurance work in my training? Hmm...
