Note
Winds were up big today so me and the road bike hit the big city highways to fully savor what was blowin' by. Then did some running, and if anything, the winds were even bigger up top. Good times, as they say.
About 99.95% of yesterday's snow had disappeared by the end of the day. It's even odds at this point that the next snow will stick, if it's over 2".
I saw that Spike had gotten up early to watch the Swedish Sprint Champs, and it sounded like so much fun that I made a big sacrifice as well, and forced myself to watch the girls run while I had dinner.
I was really looking forward to hearing some Swedish for the first time since traveling over there last summer. It was therefore both shocking and dismaying when I realized the announcing was in Finnish. Finnish at the Swedish Championships? What is this world coming to??!?!
Well, you go with the flow, and even though I don't understand a word of Finnish, since it was being spoken with a Swedish accent, I understood everything almost perfectly. Or maybe my flu shot wasn't really a flu shot at all, but a universal language translation shot? Just one more marker of how strange this year has been, and it's not even October 13 yet, which is when all the forecasters are expecting the truly weird stuff to start happening.
Watching made me also realize how long it's been since I've raced--Possum Trot. It feels more like a decade ago at this point.
