Well, stabilizer week is done...today, on our Sunday hike with Luna my legs really didn't feel like it was an easy week...Between the LT test this week and yesterday's ride, a little toast.Earlier in the week I had some short swims and a few runs...I finally got my new HRM dialed in, and I am loving it. That brings me to yesterday's ride...
52 miles, and for every one of them I was like..."are you f'ing kidding me??" Relentless, gusty crosswinds...For the first half of the ride my legs and lungs were great....then at the turn-around, hoping the wind would subside (it didn't), the first thing to go was my attitude...the wind was kicking my butt. It took almost all my energy and focus to try and stay out of the ditch, which I did, barely. Twice, I almost cashed out. Three hours and seven minutes. I really can't remember a windier day, ever, on the bike.
This morning, yoga. This afternoon, a short hike with the girls. Today's endurance event was transfering a few years worth of pics and I-Tunes from the dying laptop to our desktop. The "Belkin Easy Transfer Wire" was anything but, so I did it all manually...oh the fun!
132 days to CDA.

Your experience and listening to the wind howl outside this morning is exactly why my long ride will be in the basement with the cast of the OC. Oooo how I love that guy from Chino.
