WELL, THIS IS A DUMB PR

EARLY RIDES demand early wake up. We prep the night before, get everything ready, and...

... set the alarm.

For me,
today,
5am.

So I could leave at 5:38, 
meet the crew at 5:50,
and ride to the start.

Solid plan.

Except.

Alarm was blaring at 5:32.

I was so groggy I thought I had 8 more minutes 'till I need to wake up.

Doh!

Which brings up my dumb PR.

Miraculously...

• I snapped in the cleats at 5:42
• Caught the fellas at 6:07
• Made the ride

... because I PR'd the first 5 miles.

Not a terrible thing because there are races where we slot into corrals waiting for the gun to sound...

... and pin it!

No warm up,
just a commitment to get my buns out there.
