I got up at the ass-crack of dawn (4:45 am) to help one of my friends with registration at a cycling event. Working registration is fun in and of itself, but I also came home with a free jersey ($50). Woo-hoo!

Bike home. Am I crazy, or did the easterly headwind I had going to work this morning turn around into a westerly headwind when it was time for me to go home??? No, I'm not crazy. (And yes, I did leave for work at 10:00 am...) Sheesh -- enough with the wind already.

The wind was somewhat bad at class this morning. Now it's getting worse, bordering on ridiculous. | ||

Bike to work. I think I deserve extra points for doing it in the cold rain. ;-) Actually, it only rained lightly for about the first 10 minutes. And it was pleasantly chilly. | ||

Bike home from work. This morning's cold rain changed over to sun and....WIND. Ugh. I passed a sign this morning next to a vacant lot: "Prairie Dog Project". Would it be a petting zoo, perhaps??? I stopped to read the sign on my way home. The fine print clarifies that it's a prairie dog removal project. They're being relocated prior to development of the vacant lot. Relocating them is definitely more generous that just gassing them. (Check out this slightly over the top flier from five or six years ago.) One of the ways to remove them from their holes is to use a giant vacuum device that sucks them up and launches them into a padded crate. The gentler method is to flush them out with sudsy water. I've only seen these methods on TV; it'll be interesting to see in person, if I can catch them in the act during my trip to work. | ||

We had ten players and the other team had two. So, we mixed up the teams and scrimmaged for 40 minutes. And it ended up 9-9. Perfect! | ||

We had a two-week break after the Spring Training class ended in late May. The Summer Training session started today at the track. There's not an afternoon option this time, and some of the ultra-runners from the Winter Strength Training class are back. So, the class is big (~12) and there's a good range of abilities. On the downside, the Summer class starts a half-hour earlier (6:30 am) -- ugh. Other than soccer and orienteering, I haven't done any running whatsoever since the Spring class ended a few weeks ago... The breaks between sets were pretty long (three or four minutes), since there were so many people and everyone was chatting...and that was fine with me. | ||
