Mission Accomplished! 100 👑 in the bag. 

New 1000W duration PR of 46s.

Went from 0 to 100 in just over a year. Last year I would occasionally get one, get super excited, and then Patrick would come casually collect it on a lunch break. Up Piedra Morada is a classic example.  One of my first, grabbed it August 2, 2020, elated, went to lunch with Christin, and Patrick took it with 19 seconds to spare before I had finished my first martini. Pain.

Those regular smackdowns pushed me to get stronger, and then Nov 23rd, 2020 I finally got my first crowns in the alphabets that I was able to hold on to till now. Changing focus to developing more lifting at sprint power in June this year really ramped up the pace of collection of defensible crowns in recent months. 

Big thank you to Patrick for being an insatiable competitor and teammate that has let us push each other farther and faster than I thought possible. To Strava, for changing the KOM list algorithm to list ties in each person's page. To Christin, for supporting/tolerating the goal 🥰. 

Now what?  Gotta keep it >💯. Beyond that, I think I'm done chasing the stupid, trans-intersection downhill ones. Glad I never got seriously hurt doing that. I'm never going to be able to keep up with smaller guys on the hills, so... Crits? NPR? Triathlons? Track? I signed up for the Velodrome intro classes today. I think the 1 kilometer TT would suit my body type. Let's try something new.
