Legs felt really tired in the afternoon. Got to the track early and lay down for 10 minutes before warming up. (Yes, lay is the past tense of lie.) But after warming up and stretching I felt ok and got into a nice pace at 3:52 with 3 other guys and held it.

  4. I hate to agree with Scott Brown (and Jon), but very impressive to log 125k with two days off. Nice 5000 TT after feeling sluggish in the midday run.
