Went riding with Munkirs again last night, same ride as always. (We enjoy consistency.) We wisely eschewed the “fast group” though, and dropped back with the “slow group.” For one thing, we are planning to go on a longer ride this weekend and didn’t want to burn ourselves out. Just kinda stretching out a little bit. The conditions weren’t ideal either; It was brutally humid, lightly raining in spots, and I just wasn’t feeling particularly well. So, we hung back and enjoyed the lighter pace. And, at the end of the ride, we ended up averaging a whopping .5 mph slower pace than last week with the “fast group.” Hmmm… I think it all might be psychological.
You think it’s psychological? That’s just nuts!!
