Weights were okay, I was not strong but got in some extra reps as the workout progressed. The ride in to work was also okay (or so I thought) but when it came to ride home...

oh
my
god.

My legs were SO done... I thought it would be sweet to ride over to Bellevue, meet Shelley and then drive home with her and I sorely underestimated the time it takes to get anywhere on a single speed bike and how thoroughly trashed I was. And my bike has a tiny gear. And platform pedals.

Shelley gets off at 5 and I left my work at about 4:10. At 4:40 I get to the WEST side of the I-90 floating bridge. Obviously I have about as much chance of making it to her office in Bellevue by 5 as Scott McClellan has of getting George Bush to admit that his book is factual.

So I call her on the phone, apologize and turn around to ride home. Christ. I had to walk up several hills... It's pretty steep climbing up from Leschi unless you want to throw in a massive detour and I was toast. And when you can't pull up on the pedals... it was a sad scene.

Equipment:

Raleigh town bike, 38x16
