1:30pm.  22 miles of biking at Cedar River Trail - very lovely day for biking along the river, but I was not in shape for this and I will certainly feel it tomorrow.  My quads/hammies were VERY ready to be done around 17 and the last 5 were a nice death march.  Still felt good, did the entire paved stretch from the Renton parking lot to the gravel in Maple Valley!  

TT: 1:34:28   AP: 14.1 mph

Splits: 11.6, 14.0, 13.9, 13.8, 13.8, 14.5, 13.3, 12.5, 13.4, 12.8, 13.4, 15.6, 18.6, 18.7, 15.8, 15.4, 17.0, 15.5, 15.2, 13.9, 13.6, 13.7

Coming back is WAY easier than going out (because its very gradually almost visually unnoticeably gradual uphill). 

Sad to end a GREAT weekend: the drive-in, running with Lisa, Wild Waves, bbqing, blackberry picking, blackberry cobbler & blackberry freezer jam making, biking, poker tournaments, fun shenanigans with Portland friends, etc.  Still to come: Mariners game and bonfires.
