speedy, kind of?

Well, today I mounted my carbon fiber weaved steed once again for yet another ride for the records in spandex history. The ride was MRT, again. I decided I was tired of looking down at my ave speed and continually reading 14.8, 15.1, a good days effort yielded 16. Was I really this slow or is it all the stoplights and assbags who pull out in front of me that kick the life out of my average effort? Today I set my timer at the start of the trail and stepped on the gas, woooosh, I was off. Pretty sore pretty fast considering my 1.5mile warm up. Fighting off the cramps and wierd muscle spasms for the first 5 miles and I finally broke free of my own bodies incapabilities. Cruising really good and hammered accross the levy at about 24mph. About 20 minutes in my mind started tricking me, slow down it said, save yourself, you'll do a century sunday, c'mon take it easy pal. He almost got me when I realized it was just the inner pussy in me trying to get out, "you again" I said, and I beat that mother back into its deep, dark hole and mashed on the gas once again. Hitting the chain of rocks I was pretty winded but low on fuel and the only place that can quench my wild thirst is the magic Stop-n-Go. With 89cent powerade on my mind I continued my newly found furious pace and screeched into the parking lot. Checked my stats. 15miles. 20.2mph. Holy shit! I may actually become a real certified Cat 5 mediocore bike racer someday. HOOOrayy!! My carmel crack filled snickers was a junkies delight and the powarede was exceptional. I remounted my childs toy and headed back, ugggh , not feeling so hot. Sugar overload and my lack of cool down has left me in a bad way. Nevertheless I realize I have got to put forth some effort to salvage as much of this av speed as I can, after all, I got to blog about it when I get home and all my readers out there are pulling for me. I really never got rid of the stiffness and a wind seemed to kick up on the way back, always does, as I had absolutely no tailwind on the way out, no way. Battled against it but could only comfortably manage about 15mph on the levy. I couldn't watch my speed disapate so I turned the comp to a new function, I could'nt bear to watch. Well, I finally loosened up again but really didn't have a lot left in me so I put forth what effort I could. Reaching town I looked at my stats once again 32miles. 18mph. Well, still a victory as far as I am concerned. All in all, its been a good week and I have around 185miles so far. Stayed tuned to find out what happends next........
