Scott's Ride Blog

Well wanted to punish myself today. I pushed hard on every climb, even the small ones. I am so bad at getting dropped on short climbs. So I tried to hold the tempo I had on the section before up the small climbs grinding out even sprinting at times (like on the San Dieuito decent) The first climb I followed Joe's wheel and he road a good tempo, when we hit the 2nd part of the climb, I put the hammer down! We held at least 17 mph up the climb (not exactly sure as I forgot my HR monitor and computer) But based on my gearing we were flying. Man did that hurt we hit the stop light at Camino Del Sur and I didn't even have the legs to accelerate again.... after a slow climb up Camino Del Sur the legs came back and I tried again to put the hammer down on a small climb but 3/4 of the way up I let up as I just didn't have the legs (and I dropped Joe for a change) Did Torrey Pines outside but felt pretty good, much better than the last time I did it.
