Ride Description:
With all the rain we had and especially yesterday my outdoor training/riding time has been severely reduced, but there was enough break in the clouds for me to slip in a 2x60 effort today. Going out I had a bit of a slow start, but then as I got further away from the crowd I was able to open it up.

With a brief stop at the turning point (20 mile mark) and a Hammer gel I was ready to head back before the rain moved in. A guy with a Mellow Mushroom kit came by me and it seemed that my training level that I wanted to hold had me pacing him. It wasn't intentional, but I did not have enough in me to go around, though I did a few times, and I wasn't will to let up in this return interval. I tried not to draft him and kept off to the right or left depending on where he was at. There were a couple of times we split apart and were solo, but somehow we ended up back together with me thinking this guy is really strong. His pedal stroke was relentless as he had a style of pedal and pedal harder, but he never coasted and neither did I. I am not sure who is was, but I was very impressed and no doubt he was a much stronger cyclist than me. I am sure he could have dropped me anytime he wanted.

Nice to get outside for a ride.
