shoot the moon

a very good weekend. robin did the triterium sprint on saturday morning and she improved on most of her times relative to her first of the season. this was a much tougher field and she was up to the task - i'm very proud of how far she has come and, if she chooses to continue to race, look forward to seeing just how good she can be. we celebrated with breakfast at our favorite spot before going back to get her stuff in transition.

i managed 4+ hours of riding in the heat. saturday was a single speed ride on the military ridge, quarry ridge and badger prairie trails. the bp trails are more like paved paths at the moment - rocket fast. i pushed the flats as much as i could and my legs were feeling it by the end. yesterday, i was headed out at the peak of the heat (3pm) and rode for close to 40 miles hitting one of my favorite loops. i even added on a little at the end but was happy to be done. i don't drink a whole lot on rides but downed two big bottles during the ride and drank another 3 when i finished. hot!

training last week:
m: 1:45 (commute, add-on at the military ridge trail)
t: 1:15 (commute)
w: 2:00 (commute, mtb at blackhawk)
r: 0 (home with sick calvin)
f: 1:15 (commute)
s: 2:15 (gravel on moto)
n: 2:00 (road ride)
total: 10.5 hours

solid. more heat this week but i'm still hoping to keep my momentum  up. extend tonight. extend tomorrow (get to leave around 3). although, tomorrow might be tough - forecasted at 98 (with index temps around 110). yikes!

happy monday.
