anger fueled my interval workout this morning. anger at that crazy little black box that sits on my handlebars and does nothing. anger at a computer that won't work properly. angrrrrrrrr.
i started out with a five or six minute warm up this morning and then started what were supposed to be timed intervals. after only two hard efforts, my cateye strada started it's stupid behavior. it just quit registering. no time. no speed. nothing!
so at the n.e. 120th, i decided i'd try another strategy. i'd push hard for as long as i could at every intersection and spin to the next. my first hard effort was up drouhard hill. i pushed it up over 21mph and stayed there until the road leveled out just before the drouhards' house.
the next effort took me about a half mile over the flats at 23-24mph. i was feeling strong and loved flying down the road under my own power.
i sprinted to the construction cones, rested to the base of l'alpe d'anville, turned and sprinted out of the cones.
i was headed back east toward home now. i pushed it over half a mile and then rested. did a three-quarter mile sprint. rested. pushed it to the river. rested. pushed from the county line up and around the corner until i could push no more.
my intevals done. i spun out a four or five mile cool down. now i've got to run to swim team practice. see ya! (15.93 miles @ 17.9mph)
