hello!
Did the local time trial again last night with my new tires and bike and helmet and....I'm still not besting my PR from last year. I don't expect to be fastest out there, but it sucks that I haven't been able to scoop up that extra 10 seconds to "win" again. Looks like power was down today compared to last year, so I guess I just need to lay down mo' powah if I'm going to PR. Speed was up there but I'm 20w shy of where I was and probably 40w shy of where I am capable of.

Turns out I'm still my daughter's favorite parent, 8 months running. My wife is not amused by this.
Slinging more mud today. Job has transitioned to the quasi plastering phase to correct some very poorly done areas. Probably 75% of the way through this endeavor and trying to stay motivated to knock out the remaining 25%.
I would say do some coke before. I think that should squeeze out a couple extra watts. Start with 1 line and a red bull.
I don't know what the weather was last year when you did this, but don't discount how much yesterday's heat and humidity impacted your race. 90 degrees with a dew point near 70 would slow you down significantly. It's science!
'Morning, friends! I was going to swim this morning but slept an extra 2.5 hours instead because I am a lazy fuck.
While that's fair, it was a fast night for the fast dudes with a new course record (set by an astoundingly fast guy with an astoundingly good position on an astoundingly nice bike/gear) and several other PRs. I've got new tires and latex tubes that should have given me even moar speed over last time. I think I just didn't have it last night and that's sad...need to give it more gas and I'll get my time down, I guess. Maybe a skinsuit too
I am curious if you have heart rate data to compare the two years?
I do. I checked the weather From that run and it’s like 5• cooler on that day. I should mention that I’m like 10 seconds down compared to that run, but it’s still frustrating
I hear ya. With another year of work under your belt, you want to see improvements.
It's because you're a year older, Champion.
Be real careful here, my friend... this can lead to things that nobody wants.
Had a meh, pretty inactive day at work so I dug up some scrap stainless and had a go at welding it, I'm still shit.
Got new cups and electrodes on the way, because being more poor and still being shit at something is always good.....

Think I'm on day 8 of not being at work. I should go ride a bike.
Edit: or not, just looked out side and everything is soaking wet.

We can do the math... Just saying.
are you retired?
Back in the office today, but at least it's my only actual work day this week. Still, even with that said: No sir, I don't like it.
I meant Mon thru Wed, but sure, let's go with 5 days.We can do the math... Just saying.
I wish.
A lucky combination of mandatory rest after a road trip, plus my long and short weekends meant I took three days off and wound up with 11 days away from work. I should definitely do this more often.
Not really bright enough
Already getting there. Wifey is very emotional about it. There be friction.Be real careful here, my friend... this can lead to things that nobody wants.
It's tough trying to get my daughter to give her more affection and not immediately call for Daddy any time she gets upset. Not like I'm always the fun one who never enacts discipline, I guess I'm just more gentle about.
Maybe do a sacrifice of a stuffed animal in front of her. And have your wife be the hero and punch you in the sack while you are dismembering the stuffed unicorn. Seems pretty fool proof.
wait how old is your kid again
22 months. She has definitely entered the emotional phase, so that's not helping.
sounds about time for another kid
As long as it's not the type of friction that ends up with moar kids.
Wait. That's a good kind of friction.
Wait. No it's not.
