Ride, on a Wednesday after work, with Blair heading over Via del Campo to RB Rd, where we met Robert. Both he and I had aero bars on and used this ride to get more comfortable riding with them in preparation for the upcoming time trial at Fiesta Island. Headed to Camino del Sur and then down to the 56 bike path. On this section of the ride, I kept up a pretty high pace and got out ahead of the others, waited for them at Carmel Valley Rd intersection. Focused on trying to maintain high output consistently, it's not an easy thing to do. On the bike path, we were headed downhill and there were a number of runners coming the other way. One idiot was running on our side of the path, and he didn't see me until almost too late. I didn't hit him but I locked my brakes up to avoid it. Down to Carmel Valley Rd, where we turned and headed back to Camino del Sur, still riding in aero position but not quite as high output for me. Good little push up the hill to the turn, where we retraced our route back, dropping Robert off at the same point we met him. It was a gray day to begin with, and by the time we got back onto Camino del Sur, most cars had their lights on. Was definitely getting dark at the end. My legs felt the effects of the high impact on this ride, not sore or cramping but definitely tired.\
