After the tire failure fiasco on Monday, I decided to clear my schedule for Tuesday afternoon and regain my fitness in a single afternoon.

I am not sure what I was thinking. It must have been the abrupt change in weather for the better. Whatever it was, it made saddling up for a 3+ hour ride with Jason seem like a realistic and good idea. Jason is a local Cat. 3 who has been training feverishly all winter. I used to enjoy trading punches with Jason when we were on more even ground.

Long story short, he has been training a lot, I have not, and it showed.

It was a fantastic ride though. In honesty, I never really hurt or felt lacking, but once I got cleaned up and hit the couch it was more than evident that I was tired--really tired. I would like to say that the wind is to blame for me feeling wrung out, but I know that the truth is I am not in good form yet.

Time to get started! I think it may take more than a couple rides to get back to where I want to be though...
