Cycling (Road) 3:42:00 [3]
weight:177lbs
Was definitely a play it by ear kind of day. With thunderstorms forecast for the whole day, I planned to use the day to knock out some errands and A-meet admin tasks and then ride the trainer in the evening. However, by mid afternoon things cleared up nicely. It was too late to go down to S-F, so I hopped on the bike hitting some hills in West County figuring I'd hook up with the Big Shark ride at Marquette.
Legs were OK, but I remembered Ted McRae saying something about wanting to do the Marquette loop in under 90 minutes which, while doable, is a race pace effort and I wasn't really wanting to go quite that hard. The decision to skip the ride was made easier by the return of some menacing cloud cover. So I headed north to the flood plain where the sky looked a bit lighter and bounced up and down the bluff a few times.
Did get caught in a little light rain right at the end. The big drops showed up about a block before my street, so I got a good sprint in to finish the ride.

Note
I'm very torn between the desire to keep my weight at 178 and the desire to eat pizza. As of this writing (7:45 PM), pizza has the upper hand.
