just another day at the office

i go to work at 9:15 home by 10:15. a little wet and cold and snowy. warm-up portion went well, didn't crash and didn't feel cold. last chance to leave it all on the road/path/turf, went well. tried all the course challenges; stairs at penn with an uphill re-mount to a descent to a 180 degree turn, run up at beard's plaisance, and the rose garden hill run-up after 300 yards on turf. this is as ready as i'll ever be.
maybe i haven't done the group rides or the throw-away race but i believe i am prepared to....

weather: 32 degrees, snow, misty sleet
time: 1 hour full exertion
