35 seconds. that's how much i missed my set-too-late-in-the-ride goal by. 35 seconds. it wasn't until mile 21 that i decided to go for a 20mph average. what if i'd decided at mile 14 or mile 18 instead? would i have made it? who knows...and at this point, who cares? i had a great ride. i just missed a random line in the sand. still...35 seconds. grrrr.
now that i've said all that, my from-the-beginning goal today was 25 miles. i wanted to make sure i was over 100 for the week so i didn't have to worry about getting a ton of distance in saturday. it's not likely i'll get a bunch of riding done this weekend since an all-day volleyball tournament is on the docket. worse...an all-day tourney in dexter, sixty-five miles away. it starts at 9:00, so i'm not likely to get anything done before i have to leave. the girls will probably have to catch the bus at 7:00...maybe earlier.
in the end, i'm happy with my performance today. yeah, i missed 20mph by 35 seconds, but that's okay. there are more important things in life. i won't die from missing that goal or any other. i'll just get out there and try again another day.
until then, God bless this day with joy and peace in huge quantities...for me AND for all of you! (28.00 miles @ 19.8mph)
