Tuesday and Wednesday on the bike

Climbing repeats on Tuesday; kept my heart rate right @ 160 which was perfect.

Group ride on Wednesday. There was a guy from the Springfield newspaper doing a story on the team. Took some pictures. Pretty cool. We did the airport loop for the ride today. As usual we went really hard around the airport I was in the front of the middle pack and ramped it up to 27 mph. I knew that someone was on my wheel, what I didn't realize is that there was only 1 person on!! I broke off hoping to catch some wheel for a bit to rest but Paul went by and I couldn't catch him. It was a great leadout though!! On the way back we broke up into 3 groups; why I picked the fast group I'll never know... Anyway we had a very good rolling paceline going, very short pulls then roll off. Averaging around 30 MPH. First hill I was ok, second rise my heart rate went through the roof and I got dropped, another guy (don't know his name) got dropped right after. I took a wrong turn and ended up time trialing back. I need to learn how to attack hills better.... Ran for 20 minutes then packed it in. Very excited that I weighed in at 190 tonight.
