Post race, trashed-up TGP Ride

BIKE 20.6 miles, three rounds of TGP with BE
BIKE COMMUTE 9.4 miles

BE and I agreed yesterday after the race to meet for a ride, and just see what we get. I knew we'd ride mostly normally. But I didn't take into account the mess of TGP after the Festival of Nations. Skinky trash, rotting food, porta-potties. Fencing and gates, generators, bags of garbage and ice and concrete, banners and golf cards and chairs and tables and ATMs. Ugh.

So the first loop was 18 mins owing to the dark and having to map and dodge the debris. Second loop better at 17 mins. BE left after the 2nd, and I finished out the 3rd, untimed because I stopped to talk about tomorrow's track session. 

It all felt good, no hip pain but still chest discomfort. But not the pains like from the race. More of a residual discomfort that I wouldn't consider "pain".

And TGP was 98% cleaned up by my commute home.
