Hey, ladies.
DR.TC - hooray for streaking! I am proud of you too - healthy coping skills are HARD, and way to listen to your body. Keep it up!
Dr. C - honestly, fuck all that shit. Sometimes life just sucks. I am sorry about your friends, and the less-than-ideal training. Be kind to yourself, especially right now.
GN - have a great race at LP! I bet you're right; having other things to focus on in the immediate run up will be helpful. I'd love to stalk you!
EBB - Yay for finding new places to ride. Enjoy!
My goal for last week was to race happy at my sprint, which I totally did. I was also pleased to maintain a better-than-I-really-deserved bike average on a hilly course. My favourite moments of the day were the woman who came up to the body marker with her timing chip in her hand and said "What is this, and what do I do with it?", and the new friend I made on the beach doing her first ever triathlon. I rode by her on the bike, and she ran me down with a quarter of a mile to go. It was a great race, and I'm looking forward to going back again next year.
This week's goals are to get back on track with my running - October 6 will be here before I know it, and I am in no shape for 13.1. Other exercise will be what it will be - bands restart this week, so my weekday evenings start to get tied up again. Hoping I might get my new mountain bike and my gravel bike back soon. I'm volunteering at the Pumpkinman all weekend (anyone racing?), which I'm really looking forward to, and playing a German Band gig at a big Oktoberfest in Portland, which I am not so much looking forward to.
