Hnnngh.

Yesterday's workout: week 6, day 2, column 3 of the Two Hundred Squats workout. And then basement to 45. I was originally planning on basement to 29, and in fact was panting badly at 29 and sat down to get my breath back, but wound up getting up after a while and finishing the building. Still cleared the whole thing in 13:08. This is about a minute and a half slower than my time for Rockefeller Center last year (I am ignoring the fact that there are actually more than 45 floors in my daily workout thanks to an internal basement between 11 and 12 and the fact that a few lower floors are more like 1.5 floors each), but I'll deal. I've got until Sunday, after all.

Hrm. The Ride to Montauk is the only century ride I've ever done. It's on June 16th this year. Nice, flat hundred miles until you reach mile marker 97 and see the sign reading WELCOME TO HITHER HILLS STATE PARK at which point you put your head down on the handlebars and cry like a baby.

Entry fee is $92. Transportation back from Montauk for myself and the bike would be $65.

You know, it's a nice idea and all, and I've done it twice, but I think I might look for a ride that isn't this hard to get home from. I wish the Ride organizers all the luck in the world, though. It really is a great ride and Lord Almighty do they ever have incredible rest stop service.
