easy spinning inside because it was cold outside. can def feel the effort from last night.

Event: The Lost Valley SHivering Icy Trail Run
 

the SHITR. what a fun non-race! lined up with MK and we were chasing the chase pack on the opening doubletrack. in the lower singletrack she gradually went ahead and I was content to let her go. then caught up to her and some chase packers in the second section of doubletrack. then took advantage of the speedcross's gnarly grip and passed a lot of people in the upper singletrack. came out of that section by myself but latched onto another guy, colby, on the last doubletrack and we pushed each other home. 1st female.

weather was low 30s and raining, but it didn't really bother me until the last doubletrack which was exposed and windy.

a few sips of LiquidShot and some water and that was it for cals.

this non-race reminded me that it's good to get out in less-than-ideal conditions. i have been coasting with my training lately, not really sure what's gonna come up on the sched next, so not challenging and not growing. reminded me that being crazy is a good thing.

was tracking w strava on my phone but it died and did you know? if your phone dies it does NOT save a partial strava file. you get nothing.

singletrack is FUN. love the feeling of ripping through it. and the darkness makes it feel faster. badass.

thanks to HatePavement and ROCK Racing for organizing. let's do it again!

into work

back home. as i was climbing the hill out of the jobsite a guy started talking to me. i was forced by traffic to stop and wait at the intersection so he caught up to me and was talking about how much he liked my bike etc etc. red alarms are going off internally since the area around the jobsite isn't that great, and you know, the whole single girl thing. finally, a break in the traffic and i rode off. phew! i don't think he was up to no good, but he sure had me worried for a few seconds.

into work.
