Who can't possibly smile while riding by Darioush, Mumm, Rutherford, Rombauer, etc.? |
But it's really easy to smile with a sign like this, which I made for my Coeur d'Alene teammates |
On Sunday, we swam and ran the Vineman courses. It was a real pain in the butt to drive all the way to the Russian River and Windsor, but I am really glad we did (as a sidenote, I was on the Tour de Bay Area this weekend driving from Mountain View to Dublin to San Francisco to Dublin to Napa to Santa Clara to Dublin to Guerneville and back to Mountain View)! I hadn't swam in a river yet so it was good to swim against the current and with the current. I also wanted to test how it felt to swim in my wetsuit in such warm water. I had been debating if I should get a sleeveless, but was worried about making such a big change less than three weeks before the event. Luckily, wearing the full wetsuit was not so bad. After I my heart rate warmed up, I was definitely cozy, but it was tolerable. Status quo it is!
The water was definitely warm! |

Great job this weekend! I'm glad to hear Silverado Trail is a good place to ride as I've been planning to get up there for 1 or more of my long IM rides this year. And I will see you at Vineman then - my brother (another TNT person) is racing the full so we'll be there to cheer!
