Worms, twisty worms

Tonight's ride at the worm was awesome.  I realized (on the way to Renton) that I need to throw a granola bar in my car for a pre-ride meal, and probably a P&J sandwich for an after ride meal.  Not eating any real food till 8:30 p.m. sucks!  A dinner of cliff shots and cliff blocks on the trail just doesn't do it.  My skills were pretty good.  My claim to fame was a couple of track stands I did (mostly out of desperation because I realized I wasn't going to make a corner if I didn't stop first).  I spent a lot of time in the 90-92% of Max HR.  We only rode Tapeworm...I was so glad when we headed straight there.  I couldn't have ridden much longer than we did.  Also it was a beginner ride, so there was plenty of rest.  I did position myself behind a slower rider so I didn't get sucked into chasing other riders.  I'm amazed at my natural competitiveness (just an observation).  I love riding.  I'm hoping to pick up a few new riding partners this summer.  Fredricka mentioned an off road Triathlon in August (6 weeks away).  Little over a 1/2 mile swim, 15 mile mountain bike and a 5 mile run.  I couldn't get in shape for the swim and run...but a team might be fun.  I think I may need to make a plan to do one next summer....it could be a post MBA goal!
