went out this afternoon after spending the morning hanging out and relaxing. :) decided early on i was going to do the 3 climbs ride that century has planned on april 6th. up long hill, up montgomery, then up lindberge. this was a tough ride! dont know were exactly it happened but my legs crashed at one point. trying to hammer up long hill may have been the culprit. montgomery was a very slow crawl due to my inexperience with the climb and lindberge went the best out of the 3. riding to zion from long hill i knew it was time to head home. my legs were already burning and i still had another 10 miles! but my legs pushed through and i arrived back with a nice average speed and a good amount of time on the bike to show for the soreness. this was a good hard ride. felt like my fitness was a little higher despite the legs aching. may go out tomorrow for a recovery ride. this week is going to be a slower week with less miles. legs have been sore and want to rest them. ride;
