Just ride and relax

So I only had to worry about a simple bike ride today. I decided to give my new Giro Advantage 2 helmet a go since the weather was overcast. It's a totally sweet lid but not a fast transition lid as it's a pain to put on. It mainly has to do with the ear covers being so snug that the strap doesn't connect easily.

Today is the noon time lunch ride's hill day. Not the best conditions for the new helmet but I'd figure there are some hills for sure to conquer at Canada so I might as well see how the lid goes. I also decided to focus my whole ride on tempo rather than hammering the hills all out as usual.

The helmet was zoom zoom in the tailwind down the hills around Wilsonville. It was quite warm on the inclines but overall it's worth the aero advantage I'm sure. I'll just have to make sure during the Florida Half and if it's warm in Canada to hydrate extra.

I was pretty tired at the beginning of the ride from yesterday's tempo run. Overall, I got into a nice rhythm and it went well. My body is still tired tonight.

Tomorrow morning I have to get up at 4:30AM because our gym is closed at lunch so I have to do my swim and my hour long easy run in the morning. I'm gonna run for the hour on the treadmill at the 24 hour fitness which will suck but that's how it goes.

I hope I do better at the swim...but we'll see.
