    @RMUNTZ2 Congratz on the level up!!

    @Rich_SC Pretty brutal, yeah? I went out walking in that yesterday. Felt... pretty good, tbh lolz

    @sarabushby It wasn't very fun, lemme tell ya! But it was good for honing my abilities on the rollers. :lol: Did give me reason to celebrate every time I reached the top of the AdZ and could 'freewheel' (aka: get off the bike and scream at it while my avatar coasted down the mountain)

    @SavageMrsMoose Thank you!!

    Daily 10 with my custom interval training session on Zwift. I've tried it on the actual trails, but between golf carts, kids and pedestrians it's impossible to do this set without putting myself and others in danger of bodily injury. Thank goodness Zwifting is fun. :lol:

    Strava thinks a hard 2:30 mtb ride is only worth 900 calories. haha... it's so skewed to speed. A 2 hour easy road ride gets 1800 calories. Just not even close to reality.

    @sarabushby Oh man, am I a heel! I didn't congratulate you on hitting the target! Great job. :smiley:

    Today was a training ride - full speed as much as the trails allowed. Hit time goal easily. Do wish that the kids I was stuck behind would remove at least one ear-bud so they can hear cyclists telling them 'on your left' and actually move - having to nearly track-stand behind them waiting for them to move while in the middle of a high-pace ride was very aggravating!

    Daily 10. Legs are freaking dead after doing a 5K for time (beat the 30 minute goal by nearly 3 full minutes) and then walking over 8 miles at Folly Beach waiting for the kiddo to finish an event she was participating in put on by the South Carolina Aquarium.

    Daily 10, done with the slow Zwift bot to avoid breaking into a sweat and requiring yet another shower before commencing with Mother's Day shenanigans. 😁

    @lrf56 There's still plenty of time left to complete! :smiley:

    Daily 10 with the Maria bot. Not going outside for a while after toasting my skin to a crisp because my exceptional self forgot sunscreen on the day I did a 5k running followed by an 8 mile walk... at the beach... when it was sunny. Oops.

    Zwift workout today (hard thunderstorm outside). Decided to give 'The Thomas' a try.

    I actually really like this one. Only thing that would've made it better is if they let me warmup and cooldown at my own cadence. 🙃

    Started a new Zwift training plan today just for funsies (because darn it, I don't have all the Training Plan badges - I was remiss on doing those, focusing on route badges like a dingaling).

    So with the start of a new training plan (doing the Fondo because why not), it was time for a new FTP test.

    Not the best I've done, but certainly not the worst. 198 is perfectly reasonable. Will make my workouts 6 watts easier lmao
