The weather is humid, about 80 degrees. Winds from the North West. The legs felt pretty good to start. I was good to go by the time I reached the end of OTR. Made it there in good average time. The Banducci Wall was half traffic mitigation. I was a bit over 150 BPM over the top. The Alpine Forest went as usual. I settled into a tempo. No heroics. I made my way around the backside and then to the Banducci Summit. I took a few moments rest. I lowered the saddle height a bit as my right upper knee was hinting on soreness. After letting traffic by, I headed back down the mountain. Having fun while descending off the Banducci Wall. From there it was easy going through the OTR descent. I was able to relax after making it over Mariposa. I put it in cool-down mode after reaching the top of Weston. Concentration was ok. Not the best. The past few days have been the "just getting through the days" kind of thing. I had lab in the morning and took a quick nap before heading out. I'm glad I got out when I did. Nutrition was good. I had most of my Gatorade, no water. Balance and form felt good. Better after lowering the saddle height. Ailments. Some mild left hand numbness. Some hints of right upper knee soreness, mitigated by lower the saddle height. Gear worked perfect. Other notes, no other cyclists today.
