I was really surprised at how easy this pace was. Even with the little bit of elevation I was hardly breathing - good sign. I have plenty of speed work ahead of me this week so today was a much needed "easy" day.

On another note, check out this link - Pretty cool -huh-! That picture was taken two years ago in Steamboat during the Mountain RATS stage race. I normally don't like to pimp myself but it's such a rarity that I get air time - just had to let you know.
