Daily Maintenance Weigh In- Friday, October 3, 2014
Happy Friday all!
I've been away for a bit, back now from 10 days in the UK and a few getting caught up on things here... finally able to breathe a bit and get back to "routine" things like logging in here and even logging my food.
I participated in my first full-blown Time Trial race in the UK last weekend. The Manchester Wheelers 50... a 50 mile course where each individual goes out and rides as hard as they can for a time. You start separated by one minute. My best previous 50-mile time was 2:30, which wasn't an official race. This time I did 2:08, an average of 23mph. That was pretty good (for me!). These folks are serious about Time Trials - which is a big deal in England. 120 people participated and I was in the lower third (still waiting for official results). Top guys were coming in a full 30 minutes faster than my time. So I have room for improvement!
I'm at 184 today. About the same as when I left for London.
Have a great weekend!
