This is really getting old. This weather is almost as bad as winter!
Got on the road and commuted to work this morning, in the rain. Looked at the weather radar and thought - well, at least I’ll get a hammer session in at Wakefield tonight. About 2 pm at work, checked the weather radar and saw the storms developing. Left work at 4:15pm and thought - maybe it’ll blow through. Got in through Annandale and the storm as rolling - time to lay into it. I started riding hard, hoping to make it home before it really came down. No such luck. Got to Braddock Road and the skies opened up. Got into Kings Park and the hail opened up. I took shelter in some stranger’s carport for a bit while I nursed the lump growing on my head from the hail that made it through the helmet vents.
And with that, I pushed home in the sheets of rain and called it a day. Crap, crap, crap. My legs are feeling it too. I’ll push a little intensity tomorow and hope or a solid ride Thursday.
Saturday is Church Creek. Goal is 55 minutes. I may not make it. We’ll see. I felt good and solid in the position on the TT bike yesterday and am ready to see what I can do in a flat 40km TT.
Then….. SAN DIEGO! Sunday I fly to San Diego for the week leading into Tour of Washington Count. One thing I can be almost certain of. I won’t get rained out in San Diego!
