On Saturday morning, we met at Kapiolani park and rode the Tinman course plus two times up and over Heartbreak hill. I remember when the backside of Heartbreak was hard for me, now it's practically a rest after doing the frontside. That's big improvement.
On the way back, we were to ride hard, the fast group was sent out first. The coach named off the fast people and then asked me if I wanted to go with them, so I said I'd try. I think I did ok, but it wasn't long before I was alone. I was last in the pace-line when a light changed and severed the last three of us off from the rest (should have been five, but oops). Then the two in front of me pulled over to get a bee off the front rider's shirt. Since they are both much faster than me, I went on ahead. Eventually, one of them passed me, but I didn't see the other, and I did eventually manage to pass one of the guys who went through the light.
When we got to the cars, we were to treat it like a transition and put our stuff away and head out on the run as quickly as possible. We were to do a total of 25 minutes during an out-and-back along the tinman course. So, I ran off up Monserrat. It sucked, the heat just bore down on me and I didn't do well going uphill at all. Downhill and flat land was ok. I need to do more hills.
