Time trial route with John. The day was somewhat cloudy, humid but not hot. I started out steady on the first little climb up Aguamiel Rd and kept the pressure on. Throughout this ride, I rode at about as fast a pace as I could stand, not taking many breaks other than on the downhill sections. John and I both rode fast from the hospital all the way to Sabre Springs Pkwy, and I pushed the pace on the climbs, even though I was slower than I would have liked on several stretches, including up Sabre Springs Pkwy and Rancho Carmel Dr. Fast on the finish, starting from the top of the hill on Camino del Norte. I ran out of gas a little bit on the last little stretch up Duenda Rd but tried my best. Finished in 58:55, which is the fastest pace for me in quite a while.
