rode in my first time trial yesterday. felt good after riding out there and doing a slow lap before riding the course for real. although i felt good there is still room for improvement. dropping a few pounds and training harder will definitely lead to hitting my goal for this year. so my time, 19:23. better than my best time last year by more than 30 seconds i believe. proves that riding in the winter will give you strength in the summer. bet going to the y helped as well. in total my miles for yesterday were around 30.

today after getting home from work i changed right away and headed out knowing exactly where i was headed. zion rd! did a climb then a climb up long hill rd after that. legs felt sore but overall were good after warming up. almost hit 50mph going down zion which was crazy. taking a spill at that speed could be fatal which makes me wonder why i dont hold the brakes on the way down. guess it is just the same thrill as being on a roller coaster. who knows. ride;
