Sprints to the Planetarium

After a long work week and feeling rather agitated, I decided the only solution was one of those rides that just leaves you too tired to care about the stresses of the world.

After getting dropped off by Pooja, I told her I'd race her (she was driving) to the planetarium. Granted I had to change and get my gear on, so I knew I had no fair chance of winning said race. But that was enough incentive to get me to do a good spring work out from my door to the planetarium.

I did the ~6 mile sprint (with a few slow spots due to pedestrians on the lake front) in under 20 minutes, topping out my max speed at 27.9 miles an hour. After not having any warm up, and not really riding in about 2-3 weeks, this was a weak performance, but a great kick in the butt to stop slacking off.
