The run was pretty average and uneventful. I'm happy about the relatively slow time since I was carrying a heavy bag with my change of clothes, bike helmet, lock and my trusty mini. I stopped at a convenience store for a sports drink before I got my bike back. The maintenance that was done was pretty minor: new chain, new cassette, new brake pads and truing of the wheels. I then proceeded to go home warily looking at the graying sky.
I don't know if it's the tune up or the threat and eventual arrival of rain that made me so fast but I believe this may be my fastest yet this year. The rain was not so bad at first, but once I was soaked it made me a bit cooler than I would have wanted. There was this other biker on baseline and after coasting behind him for a while I decided to pass him. I looked back after a few lights and he had dissapeared.Overall I think my performance today is pretty impressive considering I just ran 7km before. I got home without hypothermia and rewarded myself with a long hot shower and then munched on some mini carrots while a wonderful dinner was being prepared. It will be interesting to see how I hold up tomorrow and if any of my muscles will be painful.
