Road Bike 1:51:12 [3] 28.1 mi (15.2 mph)

"Hills and Thrills" course - out and back on first part
I went out 1:03 thinking that the ride back would be a little shorter. I wasn't expecting it to be as fast as it was - 48 minutes. I guess I underestimated the wind. There were also more uphills on the way out. People said that this was a really hilly course, but I wasn't that impressed. There were a couple good hills, but I expected the whole thing to be up and down with no flats. Also, it was on pretty busy roads. I need to find my own route that will be on less travelled roads with more hills. It was really nice scenery and there was one exciting moment when I surprised a couple deer and they ran right into each other, both falling down.
Major limiting factor today seemed to be more my legs than my lungs, which isn't too surprising since I raced hard yesterday.
