had a 25 mile ride to get to work every morning, punching a clock, over 3 minutes late and they mark it down,
multiple late punch-ins could result in getting fired, so it was a TT race every day,
no time to warm up in the morning,
so a really warm bath, soaking for 10 minutes, resulted in legs that were pretty much ready to go right out of the gate.
maybe a 5 minute spin on the way to the main highway, same speed everyday, avg 19 mph with traffic lights,
