Taking the train, part IV
Going into the middle of a third week of taking the train, I find myself riding as if it were a workout rather than a ride to work. Today's an easy day for running training with a gentle 5 km recovery run planned.
But on the bike I keep getting this urge to do what I can to hold the pace over 32.1 kph (20 mph) in all the straightaways. Hal Higdon warns that improved riding speeds will be at the expense of running speed. Taking the bike computer off so I cannot know with much precision how fast I'm going would be admitting that I cannot learn to be patient, and I'm too stubborn for that.
