Downingtown HS Track

With WC HS tracks closed on weekends, I rode my bike to Downingtown to do my track workout. The track was empty, but had a sign that actually said "Visitors Welcome". There were few rules, one was to run in lanes 4 or higher. Ok, no problem, just a bit more challenging to know my mile splits. I ran 6x a little over a mile - my Garmin tells me I was doing around a 5:45 pace which seemed about right, but 4 laps was taking me around 6:05, so being in the 4th lane seems to add about 5 seconds per lap. I wonder if that's right? I guess it doesn't much matter - I wouldn't have wanted to go any faster or slower.

It was only a 10 mile ride home, and I took it easy most of the way. That was my shortest Saturday workout in a long time.

Came home and rode into Manyunk with Sena to check out Cadence Bike store to see if they had any good Triathlon gear. No luck, but was nice to walk around town and have lunch with my wife for a change - much better than guzzling Sustained Energy on a long bike ride!
