I’m such a child… 🤦🏼‍♀️

I know myself really well… there’s a reason that I don’t have live segments on my Garmin, and that I tend to watch a movie when doing easy indoor rides. It means I stick to my riding plan and don’t ride harder than necessary to try and go for a segment or a jersey…

Yesterday after my ride I had an email. “Uh oh”… a segment that I got whilst riding from my dad’s 2 years ago (on my road bike) had been taken by 1 second. A segment only a few km from where I’m currently staying.

Today I had an easy spin but part of me wanted to see if I could take it back on my gravel bike. Because I’m petty/competitive/childish… call it what you will.

1 hour of easy riding followed by a 10 minute push - not quite all out but way harder than I should have been riding. Luckily I did reclaim my crown, and picked up another along the way. And I suppose it’s a good thing that my competitive streak is still very much alive and well!
