Ride Description:

Before rolling out on my typical Saturday 80 mile route, Scott rolls up and asks if he can join me. At that time he was a stranger, but I was glad to have some company along the way. However, Scott is two weeks out from Ironman Florida and I feared I would hold him back from meeting his goals today. 

Just as I figured my fitness was not up to par to keep up with Scott and I know he had to ease up a bit for me to hang on or near his wheel. Especially from about mile 65 to the end. 

Even though I was not at Scott's fitness level I was pretty happy to feel as if I coming back out of the slump that I've been in the past few months. My legs and endurance seem to be coming back a little more. 

Anyway it was great to have Scott's company and he went on to do another 30+ miles after the 80 mile route. Best wishes to his IM Florida race coming up in a couple more weeks.
