Day 152 - Did You Wreck?

It rained in Mission on Friday. Didn't ride on Saturday because the trails were still drying out. Waited under Sunday afternoon to go for a ride. When I got there I hit the trails and they were nice and hardpacked from the rain. Sweet! Did a lap of the new loop at a pace close to race pace. Heart rate was in the mid 160s to 170s. It was a pace I can hold without going anaerobic. Did a second lap as the sun was doing down. Slid out in Pooh's when I took a turn a little too wide. It was a minor wipeout. Jumped back on my bike and finished my second lap. I felt good. I was able stand and crack on a few of the climbs, something I had been reluctant to do because of my back. Rode home. When I got home my wife was watering the yard. She looked at me and ask "Did you wreck?". At first I said "no", but after repeated interrogation I cracked and admitted I had a little fall. She didn't make a big deal of it.
