Commuting again
I commuted to work again this morning via bike. I really enjoy doing this, and the extra 22 miles of work is a nice additional workout.
When I first rode to work I didn’t get very sweaty at all, however this morning I had added a new twist. Since I need my laptop to work, I’d had to wear a backpack while riding. It makes quite a large difference to ride with a backpack and heavy computer. I covered the 11 mile leg about a minute slower, and my back was totally soaked. I actually drank my water bottle in the morning since I was sweating a lot more.
I think I need to start adding some additional miles in the morning when it’s cooler. I’d like to get up to around 33 miles a day, so doing a 22 mile leg before work and then the 11 going home. Then I’d just need to ride to work 3 times a week and I’d get a 100 miles of riding a week. Which would be awesome.
This week will be challenge to ride in after today as we have some interview candidates coming in as well s the awards banquet for the Sunstroke Summer Stampede.
Going to see if I can move some meetings around.

So, how’d that Carrolton race turn out? Living about an hour south of there, I’ve never, ever heard of it before.
It went well, I was still beat up from the 50k two weeks earlier, but state number 42 is off the list.
