I know this is late.
I’ve been trying to work out how to post this from my new iPad – Macs – since last week when it actually occurred. No luck yet, but maybe next time.
http://j.mp/cGDXiH This was my birthday ride. I was going to jump on here and post it from Macs, but I’ve given up on that for the moment just to get it on here. It was a beautiful day, although a little breezier than ideal. It was such a beautiful day that I didn’t even put on a playlist to push me along. And, I got a tweet from Colin via Cyclemeter during the ride. Very cool! I got tired at the end and shortened up, skipping the last climb in the interest of getting home and having some birthday dinner. All-in-all this went pretty well and the best thing is that the 2 “big” climbs were easier than usual. Payoff for extra training?
I feel like I’m falling behind. Jett’s ahead on the running of course—and maybe the swimming. Colin’s ahead on the running and probably the cycling… and he’ll always be ahead on the swimming. Schuyler is ahead on the running and, now that he swims IN THE BAY—YIKES!—he’s ahead on that too.
So, today I went for a 500 yd swim and will cycle for about 2 hours this afternoon. I’m looking forward to being in SF in 3 weeks. Schuyler is taking me to swim in the Bay! We’ll see how that goes—at least I’ll be in some sort of swimming shape by then. And, we’re going in trunks only – no wet suits. There’ll also be a good bike ride in there somewhere. I can’t wait.
