The WOD for today was 10-9-8 and so on of squats, burpees, sit-ups...finished in 8:42 which was 45 seconds slower than last time.  I didn't feel much different, my heartrate was up in the 150-160 range.  Last time I did it, I do remember not hitting the deck on the burpees for the first 2 sets (10/9), so that may have had a little to do with the difference - that plus the quads are a little sore from yesterday's thrusters.   No excuses though...it'll just have to be faster next time.
Second part - 10K Bike for time holding a 60 cadence.  It was too nice to sit in my basement - so on went the long pants, booties and gloves.   I warmed up with 2 miles, and came back to the house for some sunglasses- bright out!  Also, probably needed more clothing - didn't think it was windy until I hit the main road.  Woah!  Anyway, 6.2 miles took 18:26 - held 20.1 mph.  I was really happy with it considering I hadn't been out on the bike in a long time and jamming at a 60 cadence was not fun, especially on the hills.  At some points, I was at 70 or 75 just because there was a bit of a hill and I was already in my biggest gear.  It was wonderful to be outside for a change and it just put me in a better mood!  I ended up going for an hour ride - just enjoying the weather and letting my thoughts wander.  Total distance 18 miles.
