"We don't make sacrifices. If we truly love this sport and we have these goals and dreams in the sport, the classroom, or in life, they're not sacrifices. They're choices that we make to fulfill these goals and dreams."

-Deena Kastor

3rd of the Tuesday night circuit races - much improved.  Highest average speed for any of the three (previous fastest was average of 18.8MPH, max speed of 26.2MPH, this one was average of 21.3MPH, max speed of 28.6MPH).  Thick black line, as per usual, represents 90% of my max heart rate. Did not get lapped by the entire field this time, managed to pass one person, and I now know what it feels like to go ~29MPH on a bike on flat ground without significant tailwind (if you’re wondering, it feels great).  Developed a nasty case of pursuiter’s cough from the race, but at least the weight I’ve lost from coughing up half a lung will improve my power to weight ratio :)
