6.11.16 super saturday

Good morning! Have fun in NYC!Woke up to major winds this morning so I'm going to settle in for a treadmill run + lower body strength stuff. First official day of summer and crappy weather today! Oh well, I'll get a bunch of cleaning done which I've been needing to do. Have a good day all! Good luck racers!

Hope you get better weather soon, Kim. I spent my first day of vacation doing a 2:30 trainer ride (and had to do it early so I could send Rover for packing), running a ton of errands in oven temps (for some reason, it hasn't rained lately, which means it's super-hot), and doing last-minute packing.

Now at airport, ready to start one more round of "World's Longest Commute". Had to leave Rover for oversize bag pickup at the check-in area. Hope someone is taking care of him! Wish me luck--I have 1:55 to transit San Francisco! Wish running could help but it's all going to come down to whether or not we arrive on-time and the length of the immigration and security lines.

Had a awesome group ride with a great group of about 25 folks in beautiful Tehachapi, CA.

36 miles and 2000ft of elevation gain. It was a good workout, 10 PR's from the same route last year. My bike is getting stronger. Got a max speed of 42mph, could have gone much faster but was brake checking down the hill due to so many riders and keeping it safe. Avg speed over the entire ride was a respectable 17mph. On a 1988 Peugeot 12 speed mind you. Keeping it simple and inexpensive, and it makes you work harder and focus more on technique.

Thought about a run afterward, ate salad instead, lol

Cool, light raining and Breezy morning 5:30 am ride 30 miles. little bit of hill work. good ride over all. Worked in the yard cleaning out all the planters and old soaker system in preparation for new irrigation system which goes in tomorrow. Play in a golf in a golf tournament this afternoon with my youngest son and my dad.

Having a few beers watching Angels baseball game with my dad tonight.

What a great day!

There were white caps on the lake today but I did my swim anyway. It felt like I was swimming in a wash machine.
