Memorial Day Weekend: Saturday

SWIM: 1000m in 22 mins
BIKE: 50 miles in 2:50

4th weekend at NT, and yes it's getting tiring. But only 2 more weekends to go. The swim was OK, I was swimming a bit crooked, but timewise it's pretty similar to last year's loops. And right now I'm not swimming for time but rather working on form. I think it's easier to work on form in the OW- no walls to break the swim.

The ride was Awesome. We had a strong group of riders, many going to IMKS in 2 weeks.(wow, so that means only 1 more weekend at NT for me!). I met 2 new-to-me club members too. We had perfect weather, just a little wind and overcast skies. Great company, great weather, great roads, great bike. I had a realization about 20 miles into the ride: I LOVE THIS!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! A total moment of bliss, of happiness, of strength and speed and certainty. I reveled in it. It was a perfect ride.

On the way home out of PdS, I couldn't help it. I dropped the hammer and took off on the old TT course. I was sure that I'd have some followers, just thought that they might be back there only spurred me on. Flat course, smooth road, and a tailwind. I LOVE THIS!!!
