 Ridge Running
Couldn't get in a riding mood again today but once I got on the bike rode strong and had a good experience. Started out up Jackson Hill and didn't seem to be climbing very well in the saddle but felt very strong when I got out of it. Had a good time to Catherine and a decent time to the top of the climb and the world overlooking Seymourville. Had the idea that it was time to push the big gear on the twenty mile descent back home and focused on trying to get the average speed up to eighteen by the finish. Did pretty well on the downhill into Horseheads but couldn't keep the speed I needed coming back down SR 14 into the headwind. Still had a shot if I could keep it going through the Curse, but the Curse beat me again as it almost always does and ended up a little short. Legs appear to be putting out more power and last week's racing seems to have raised me to a higher plateau.
