Wow was it humid today.  It was easier than two weeks ago in that I wasn’t hungover/tired and forgot my mtb gloves but still very difficult since it had rained a few hours prior.  Everything felt like ice.  Took about two hours and a liter of water because of the humidity.  I crashed good about 1-2 miles into the ride.  It was a descent over a big rock drop that wasn’t quite vertical but was over 3 feet in drop and my front wheel just slid across it when I crossed it.  That rock won.  The rest of the ride was pretty eventless except for making a few climbs that I hadn’t cleaned earlier.

Last week was pretty good with a couple 4+ mile days and a few others bringing the total to almost 15 miles.  The last run of the week was a 5k at race pace which brought me in at about 24:30 and it didn’t hurt too bad.  I need to stretch a lot more.
