C • Blue Jays Weekend 5

Left work at four on the dot to hustle home in time for Game 4, only to realize when I arrived that it started at six, not five. Rooting for the Cavs mainly because I'm a LeBron guy but also because more Finals basketball = better.

Event: 2017 Boston Sprint Camp
 

Wind-aided.

Camano Island loop. Ideal conditions and quiet, nicely paved roads. Island riding is always good riding. I only had to brake twice the entire time - once at a stoplight, once when some guy in a RV was going too slow down a steep hill ahead of me. The only slightly dicey part was in the busier northern part of the island; I was cruising along with 4-5 miles to go and all of a sudden the world exploded like KUNKUNKUNKUNKUNK - hitting a rumble strip at 20mph isn't a lot of fun. After that I had to tightrope it a bit and also nearly ran over a dead raccoon.

I took one 10min break, though I also had to stop about two miles in to figure out why my watch was being weird and not recording any distance or speed data. Felt good for the most part but started to run low on energy near the end because I forgot to actually put the snacks I brought into my pockets. My bike performed like a champion, even taking the rumble strip experience in stride.

In other news, I'm very sad because one of my/my parents' cats has disappeared and at this point isn't expected to come back. RIP Rocky :'(
