Ride with Tom, Collin’s grandfather. Borrowed Pauline’s very nice Specialized bike!

So it’s been smoky in Bozeman for 3 weeks now — it started right around my 50k race. I’ve never been super sensitive to anything (I’m the sort of person who can eat pretty much whatever whenever before running and be fine), but this smoke has been really bothering me. Yesterday I sat outside for 3 hours and developed a headache and sore throat. Those two things have been pretty consistently coming on throughout the day for me — I wake up fine, but by the evening I’m not feeling great. For my quick trip to WA, skies were clear and I felt totally fine. It’s frustrating to be so affected and it’s depressing that the smoke has been here for so long, and probably will be throughout the rest of the summer. I have a big local trail race that I was excited to do in mid-August, but if the smoke doesn’t improve by then, I might have to drop it. Ugh. Hoping for clearer skies in Tahoe.
