Against my better judgment, I rode with the Pearland Cycling club today. The reason this is questionable is that I am still not 100% after Ironman CDA and I haven't ridden at all since then. They usually break up into groups, and I usually average over 20mph. For 40-50 miles. Including stops. Normally this is a great training pace and I love it. But I kind of pictured my first ride back just being more like an easy spin, not rocking the recovery boat so much. There are slower riders that I could have hung with, but alas, I just couldn't help myself, and I sped on.
Surprise! I did awesome! We rode 54 miles, and for about the last 6 or so I did feel like I might pass away (note the euphemism) but otherwise I was strong and even pulled for a little while at 22mph. I also met more people which is always good. We ended up averaging 20.5 and I was pretty pleased with that considering it was hotter than Hades!
However now my legs feel tired, so I think tomorrow will be a yoga day.
