Got out for the big ride today. I was supposed to be down in DC with Matt running the national marathon but I bailed on that way back. Thank god I did because Matt would have made me look silly. The guy put down a 3:22 in his first marathon. Well done. He thoroughly crushed my time from last year. I'll be back next year. Let the shit talking begin.
I took on Sandisfield. The ride takes you up through the hills of Connecticut and into the steeps of the Berkshires. Seemed early to get after this ride but I needed to suffer and clear my head after a ridiculous week. Left late in the am after the temps got in the 40s. The ride was comfortable never too cold, never too warm. The hills were a bitch. I forgot how much it goes up and down. The beast was the same as last year and had me sucking wind big time. No laps on this sucker yet. I still need some more endurance work first. I started feeling beat down 3:45 in to the ride but just put my head down and pushed on but it was tough. Hardest ride yet. Now I'm spent.
Summary:
Time: 4:15 (Sandisfield)
Avg HR: 141
