slow worms

August 4, 2009
I rode the worm with Fredrika. We took it slow and rode all of the worm. I climbed well. I was riding a bit faster than Fredrika (she is trying to take it easy these days); so I got quite a bit of rest. This was good because I could push hard on a hill and then rest. I was tired, probably from not enough sleep the last couple of nights. I rode well, but found myself over steering. I didn't try anything overly technical. Tonight we ride Sawyer. I slept well last night (about 7.5 hours); but I still feel a bit fatigued (probably due to last nights ride). We (Ann, Fredrika and I) booked a weekend at Captitol Forest (to practice the Super D course) as well as a long weekend at Whistler. I'm hoping we can ride the Super D course at least twice each day. I struggled with a couple of the Super D climbs last time (2 weeks ago); thus, I've been riding some hilly areas trying to get stronger on the climbs. The positive thing about the climbs is that they come after long descents; thus, although I stand on the descents, my legs are a bit rested.
