Heading out early tomorrow morning for Natchez State Park and the 2010 LAMBRA Road Championships. I guess it'll be either hot or storming down rain. Whatever. Even though the masters races don't start until 2 pm, I realized a little while ago that since I have all of the medals, I need to be there in time for the end of the races that start at 10 am. Oh well. That way I start getting dehydrated early. This will be maybe the fourth year we've used this course and it has never failed to kick my butt, so I'm quite sure this year will be no exception to that rule. This is a fairly short loop of only 5.2 miles of which half is rather hilly and the other half is fairly flat. Within the first couple of miles there are two good climbs that come one after the other. The first one is longer, but I think the second is steeper. I guess I've been dropped on both at one time or the other.
Thursday's long levee ride had a big group and the pace got pretty intense at times. I remember Mignon looking over at me and saying, "Don't those guys ever get tired?" We'd probably been going 27-30 mph for five miles at that point and I was thinking the same thing myself. There was really only a handful of people doing any pulling. The rest of us were sucking wheels most of the time.
This morning we had a nice easy spin that left my legs feeling rather good for a change. Yeah, I guess that won't last much longer .....
