Seems to be my Saturday standard now (I guess, two Saturday's makes it routine?)
Lap 1: Meet w/ boyz and hang on until I get dropped (depending on who is calling the shots - sometimes Mr. Hot Shot and I don't think he likes me calls the shots and depending on where I am after white bridge intersection will determine if I can hang to the turn around and/or a little after). But yesterday, the speed was 48 and I was no longer hanging on... I don't think Mr. Hot Shot was running the show, but Mr. Look and Alex was there. Need less to say, I got dropped... and fairly quickly. Mr. Discovery, and older guy fell back as well (these days, I am one of MANY who fall back) and he pulled me for quite a while. When I tried to pull, he took the break for maybe 30 seconds and back in front. Well, okay... I miss the wheel wheel pull when I fall out, so take the break.
Lap 2: Starting from the very end of Lap 1, out I do the 2nd lap. And again, I meet up with a Singaporean triathlete.... I think Dominic, but not sure. We chat for a minute, I get behind his wheel, but I am not able to stick. After crazy intersection I was definitely gone. Frustrating and embarassing like last week, but felt better at the 55km mark then I did last week.... I am not riding slow these 55km... so...
Lap 3: 1/2 lap, turn before the red bridge so I don't have to deal w/ the traffic of rush hour. Good idea.... back out I go. this time, I don't run any lights but take them as food/drink opportunities...
And, into the industrial park. Just a very slow, cruisy lap around and home. Had a panic attack in the traffic so I know it is going to take some time.
Bought myslef a coconut and headed home.... still, feeling like a rock star! (a slow one, but definitely a rock star!)....
250km for the week... a nice progression.
