Training

So this morning Zack picked me up and we headed out to Kensington to train with the juniors and the South Lyon team. This was a much better idea a few days ago when I agreed to come along...
The weather was hot and the hills were steep and long. I hate climbs that are more than 3 meters high, so naturally I hated these climbs. I ended up doing about 9 laps taking the last one off because my knee was bothering me, and by bothering me I mean it felt as if a knife was stabbing me below my kneecap every time I would turn the crank over. This is pretty normal when I climb which is the biggest reason I hate climbs. Other than my knee I felt a lot better since I'm getting over being very sick and barely being able to breathe when I get on the bike. I only couldn't breathe on the first climb of my last lap when everybody but Joe and myself attacked. I've felt a lot stronger when I ride so that is good, but I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I'm not riding or working or going to a race or doing anything other than sleeping and seeing some friends. I apologize for the horrid grammar and the non detail of the training but it is 2.30 in the morning and I am getting tired just thinking about the ride. One good thing about today is that I got some awesome socks from Joe.
