Team Training Ride at Sedro Woolley

Today, Kristi, myself, and several members of my team got together for our "hard day" Wednesday workout. The group included Micah, Corrie, Shane, and Dave B.
We decided to skip the Arlington stairs and drive up North to Sedro Woolley and ride on the Woolley Cross course which will be stop #7 in a week and a half for the Seattle CX Series. The course is very sloggy and heavy to ride and forces you to push a big gear and power through. Very hard on the muscles. Riding there also gives us a chance to dial in the course and get used to line options and rythm/flow of the course.
We all did a 2 lap warm up together, and then everyone completed their own workout within their own racing time. I rode the course tempo for 30 minutes with Dave Bennet right on my wheel then with 30 to go, I pegged it and rode at race pace for the remainder of the hour. It was a great workout and we got pretty muddy and wet from the slog fest.
We finished off by enjoying some coffee at Starbucks and headed home. Good day of training and things are coming along for me. Wish me luck, cause I've had some lately and it's been working.
Thanks for the ride Team and great job out there!
