In this case, I'm talking about "Personal Record", not "Public Relations". Yesterday I rode in to work, and used the excuse to hit the trail down the street from the office. Physical exertion is tougher in the AM, but it has long been a goal to do something physical early so that all systems are firing sooner.
Anyhow, I went back after work and did two more laps, the first of which was a new PR for me. 26s faster than my previous best. Doesn't sound like much, but over a 6.5 mile course that I've probably ridden a hundred times now, it's pretty good. (see the chart below to see the limited range in times) Not to mention that I'm now on a bike that is 7 pounds heavier than my previous best, AND I am in pretty crappy shape comparatively. I mostly write it off to the AM ride as a leg opener, but what ever.
Over my short vacation, I was struggling to have the motivation to ride. I'm not sure what brought it back yesterday. I also managed to get a little recovery ride on the trainer today.
