Prepare yourself for some amazing filming and editing skills. The video on this post is top quality! It was so beautiful this morning (I think I say that every day), that I had to do a little filming. I was descending while holding my phone in my left hand, I wasn't going very fast because, well, because I was holding on with just one hand! Out of the 2 minute clip that I filmed there are only 27 seconds without my finger in front of the view, like I said, quality filming.

The background noise was left in, it's sounds cool with the Foals. Inevitably if there is ever a long descent, I choose the Foals to be piped directly into my ears, so I have included it for your listening pleasure.

I had 4 intervals to complete today, I was supposed to be switching up my cadence during them. It sort of worked, but I was concentrating so much on my cadence that I forgot to push hard. So, they were perhaps marginally effective. I didn't have much time, so I had to retrace the climb up to Badger a few times. On the way out I ran into Jared & on the way back I ran into Heather. As the owners of the bike shop (Las Vegas Cyclery) that sponsors me, I think they were both glad to see their athlete out training at 5 AM. Yes, that puts my wake up time around 4:15, some days that's just what training calls for!

Heather took my picture when I ran into her. I know it's a boring stance, she had me flex my arms for the next pic, but I made a very strange face, so you get the boring one.
