L-Town and Seaforth with Taylor. He's newer at road riding than I am so I managed to drop him on most of the flats so I'd slow down and then hammer like hell on the hills where he didn't have much trouble keeping up with me unless I turned it on like crazy. I won't be faster than him for long so I did enjoy it a bit! Tried out some different techniques that I read about today like sitting up with weight back and spinning. Had some success. I'm anxious to try that out on my own to get a comparative time, could have just felt good because of the reprieve before the hill.

I managed to stay relatively well hydrated in the brutal heat too. Rather than take a dozen water bottles with me I drank about three litres during the day. Good call Lowery.

Fun fact of the day... the ideal roadie climber weighs 2 lbs for every inch they are tall. Ha! Apparently I'm the ideal roadie climber who ate another ideal roadie climber.
