Good job Gary....finish line added

Hey all!

"Oh What a beautiful morning! Oh what a beautiful day!"

Okay, cruising to work.  Fuel meter reads a little under 1/4 tank of gas.  Suddenly engine dies, coast to a stop on a side street.  Engine turns over and tries to catch.  Obvious fuel problem but I have almost a 1/4 tank of gas.  Call AAA to get a tow.  While waiting I call Nissan dealer to tell them my truck is coming in.  Tell the guy the situation and he tells me to have the tow truck driver put a gallon of gas into the truck and try starting it.  But my fuel meter shows almost a 1/4 tank!  Turns out there is a recall for the Nissans where the fuel sending unit malfunctions.  Hmm, never received that notice.  Sure enough, tow truck driver pulls up and gets gas can out.  He tells me he just had a lady with a 2010 Titan with the meter showing 3/4 full and it was out of gas.  Puts gas in and truck starts. 

Call dealership and there is up to a 2 month wait for the fuel sending unit but there is another recall that he wants my truck in right away.  Why?  Turns out there has been an issue with the condensers smoking and occasionally catching on fire.  Oh this is just so much fun.  So it is going in tomorrow for that and I am on the waiting list for the sending unit.  Until it comes in I have to track my miles and mileage and not rely on the gas gauge.

"I've got a wonderful feeling,  Everything's going my way."

Riding 55 in the Tour de Cure tomorrow....I hope everybody has a great weekend.

Great ride Diane!!!

Gary - I said "am I there yet?" for 140.6 miles.

Mav - glad to hear you are better and ready to go....

Did 55 miles yesterday in rolling hills and big winds....just over 3 hours....then, long swim today....it felt really good after a while of not swimming much....I was amazed that my mile swim time was within about 2 minutes of my one mile best time....go figure....I just don't swim fast....ride fast or run fast.....I just grind through it.....

The prodigal Canuck has returned. No, it wasn't because I am holed up in a cave watching the Stanley Cup playoffs (BTW Lena - I'm now cheering for the Blackhawks!!). Just been busy with life and not all that much training to report. Haven't been to the pool in 2 weeks, only done 1 run in that same time but I have been riding. Did a 60k route yesterday (it was a statutory holiday here for Victoria Day).

Had an injury last weekend - not while training but while cutting the lawn. Stepped off the curb, turned my ankle and it swelled up like a balloon. Swelling mostly gone now but discoloration remains. Very little pain now - just when I have to twist my foot to unclip from the pedals.

I am going to try and read back through emails to catch up on the goings on.

My Oly training plan starts on Monday next week so no more excuses!!

Mav - just read the post about your surgery (had to look up the diagnosis in Wiki) and the bike accident. Girl, you are hard on bike helmets!! Hope you heal fully and quickly.

Just found some info about the 2010 Terry Fox run. Because it is the 30th aniversary they are once again closing the Confederation Bridge (13k that links Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick) for the event.

I would normally participate but my planned Oly is the day before in Freeport, ME.

If any of you are interested to take part let me know and I'll see what I can do to hook you up with accommodations in PEI.
