Ride over to Dave's house for the time trial route with John. Temperature was similar to the previous day, but it didn't feel as cold on the ride. I kept my pace down, knowing I was planning on riding on Monday. So I stayed pretty much with John the whole way, only getting a little bit ahead on the climb up to Poway Rd. Here, I was taking it slow. The only place where I pushed the pace was on the flat sections on Poway Rd, where John and I traded leads and we were riding pretty fast. I hiked it up that last little hill before the turn onto Sabre Springs Pkwy, then slowed down for John. We rode up to Ted Williams Pkwy, and I was just a little ahead of him. Similar thing after the turn, and we rode together for the rest of the time. I was a little ahead of him by the hospital but not much. He took the lead going downhill after this, and I was giving it pretty much everything to stay on his wheel. Finished in 57:50.
