sick single track out of Auburn. Love the trails up there!

Rode up to Robinson flat and weather getting worse entire climb. A lot longer than advertised and jeans, t-shirt and wind jacket with fingerless gloves and vented tri shoes put me in a character building place for the ride back down. - Later rode out to aids and trails while crewing. Good amount of climbing - legs sore from bike

WS duties - Ran a few sections between riding and craze of crewing. I would much rather be racing... Ran down to Michigan Bluff cheering/pics until I saw Mike then ran back up with him(in cycling shoes) and the chaos of the bus breaking down before pacing Amber and having to SPRINT down to the river from the church. Made it just in time to catch the girls and 4 team AR trek it out. Long day and fun night on the trails. a few hrs of sleep that I am feeling now but great experience.

ez spin around Ambers hood before bed. Just spinning the legs after a big work/travel day

bummed I missed the swim/run w/ the boys last night and just got slammed this morning to miss the run. Then Derek came down for a RIDE. I guess right now it is all about the bike. Trust its in his plan.
You can fight it but its better to sit back and just enjoy the ride...

Fun, fun, FUN run with Monique at sunset down Aliso path at her pace(that ended up being low 7min) and ez cool d. Feeling peppy!!

Blackstar/Motorway loop starting from Jamboree parking lot in the dark. Woke up early and was hungry to ride. Broke through the clouds and into the glory of his sunshine and sweet single track descent.

Destroyed by drive... LA traffic death. Started a run/walk on the Q w/ M. Long day.

Whiting loop up mustard and around front at lunch. Hot and good climbing. First run in Alta's

OTH warm up. Glad I jumped in. Hard to get a full lap without stopping to talk. So many cool friends out there and shocked at teh 500+ people on a weekday evening. Rad!

You know your getting fit when you want intense suffering under high heart rate FUN! I am learning how to pin it. Yes, Please! Decided to learn and GO from the start. Not a race I could make up time and learning that I wont blow up. Massive groups and at one point all racers out on the course. Learned a ton.

Lead first lap and did not hold back at all...felt so dang good. Searing. Kept working overtime to get ahead only to get stuck behind and have the few leaders catch up. By the last lap I learned where to put the effort in and when to relax and recover/drink. Tech skills proven again better than ever...made some all time epic passes on shit I would have been scared to ride a few years back. Loving it!

Came down to me and Victor and he was killing me on the climbs and flats. Final lap was all out sprint between us and he put a good 300 meters on me during last climb and I got right back to his wheel by the time we got to the lake. .25 mile SPRINT. I could not get past his back wheel but know I gave it everything and we both pushed each other harder the entire time. Race is SO FUN!!! Cant wait to race this weekend!
