Sunday morning time trial ride, starting with John from my house and meeting up with Dave and Jim at Jim's house. I could tell from the beginning that my legs were pretty tired. We were riding at an even pace up to Pomerado Rd, then I led out at a speed to push the others but not leave them behind. John was able to keep up, generally, until near the hospital. After that, I really pushed it hard to the light at Twin Peaks Rd, and John kept up with me. Dave, John, and I rode fast down to Poway Rd, we rode together for awhile, then John and I got out ahead a little bit near the turn. On Sabre Springs Pkwy, I took a moderate pace, and John wasn't too far behind. I matched his pace and led out to pull him up Rancho Carmel Dr, similarly with the stretch on Camino del Norte and on W Bernardo Dr before the downhill. After the light, I gave it pretty much all I had to lead out, then encouraged him to push it to the max on the little hill up to Jim's house. He finished with a PR, as did Dave, so it was a good day. I finished in 59:21, an okay time given the condition of my legs.
