Bike

20 mile loop. Very sad to see some of my favorite roads freshly tar and chipped. It'll be several weeks before they're ride-able again. I saw my friend the piebald deer on Spaniard Neck. I haven't seen him in almost 9 months so that was cool. I also saw a turkey bolt out of some beans, across the road, and into a cornfield. Lots of wildlife out tonight. Got caught in a little rain and wind, but nothing too bad.

I'm loving the extra sleep. Back to early swimming next week. Perfect day for an evening spin on the bike! (actually, a perfect day to ride all day long). On another note, I'm seriously sore in my glutes, hip flexors and quads from yoga last night. Ouch. I can definitely see where that would be a good addition to the training plan, but there's only so many hours in a week.

I was hoping the storms early this morning would cool things off a bit but it was pretty nasty and grey out this morning.

Sport

Yoga

Tried a yoga class with Marianne. I had some seriously twitchy muscles on a few of the positions. She focused on stretching which is what I need.

Against my wishes, I guess today's going to have to be a rest day. I had to get in the office early and I've got to cut grass tonight.

Watson Rd loop. Sans HRM. I have a feeling we're going to be missing the cool spring weather running starting this week. Definitely toasty this morning.

2-mile option at the Swim for Life ows in Chestertown. Nice to be able to swim hard and not worry about pacing for a bike and run afterwards.

Dropped Marianne's car to have new tires put on and rode to work and back.

I had to bring Marianne's car over today to have new tires put on so I brought my bike and rode it from the shop (over by the mall) to work. I took Bestgate and the road that parallels Rowe into town (I think it's called Ritchie or Ridgley or something) that the Annapolis bike course is on. Very nice road with a little undulation. Traffic was a little nuts, but it'll be nice on race day. Glad I don't ride over here much....drivers are either asleep, stupid, mean, or a combination of the three.

The booze cruise last night was too much fun. I'll spare you the details, but I'll give the key words and you can piece it together:

Painkillers

Coronas

Cuervo

Boats

Water cannons

Water balloons
