Lovely weather (not a tornado in sight!) and my fastest commute in of the year.
Mind you, I only averaged 14.4mph with a time of 46:26 (but I am on a converted mtb with 1.5" slicks, I'm really overweight, a really big hill, blah, blah, excuse, excuse, etc). Still, I know it may not be fast to many people, but I've shaved off almost 15 minutes from my very first commute this year -though admittedly I can't say I pushed myself at all that first day.
I know commuting isn't a race, but my main problem this year has been that I've been doing what I call "junk" miles -meaning I just spin with little effort, and don't put the effort in. From now on I've resolved to at least once a week try to better my best time -if only to improve my fitness and give me something to aim for.
Anyway, it's always nice when you start to see an improvement.
