Tired Legs

No rain all day and none on the radar. But with the 5:30 ride came a fine mist. Nothing too bad, just messy and cold.
Ten of us headed out from the shop. Missing was Jeffro...not too sure where he was! It was a good ride overall. Everyone took turns pulling and chasing. We flew up and over the Alp. Doc said we did 9:58, better than a few weeks ago...so I guess we are going the right direction.
OPUS is done so Matt showed up and showed us what being Cat 1 is like...ouch.
I have been able to overcome my mental block of not wanting to go into too much pain, AKA The Hurt Locker. Just dig deep, go, and don't think. It seems to be working.
The legs are tired tonight, however. Zoe kept looking up at me on our walk, wondering why the hell I was going so slow.
Next week we plan on staying out till 9, getting a 3.5 hour ride in. Hopefully we slow down a bit!
Thanks for the great ride.
