| Bike ride up to Shutesbury via Wyola, back down via East Leverett. Not much motivation to start, but slowly got into it. Pretty warm.
Just for the record, no blood doping, no EPO, no whatever is the preferred stimulent these days, no caffeine. On the other hand, if ice cream is on the banned list, I am in serious trouble. I also continue to be in a pretty good mood. Maybe it is due to my staying away from any conferences or conventions, international or domestic... :-) | ||

| Looking ahead a bit, I've been giving serious thought to a couple of changes in my life for next year, adding the word "emeritus" to a couple of my current roles, that of Sprint Series Commissioner and that of Chair of the ESC. Both positions seem like they are ready for new occupants with some new ideas.
One role I hope to keep going for a while is Treasurer (unpaid) of a local non-profit. I think I'm coming up to the 5-year mark, and after about 3 years of depressing meeting after depressing meeting (always bad news, always problems to deal with, always about to go under), the place is really hummimg now. New contracts, new programs, management and board are much stronger, finances are better though still a struggle, board meetings are really interesting. And other than signing my life away on a reasonably regular basis, I don't have any responsibilities hanging over my head other than trying to make sure we make good decisions. As you might guess, had our regular monthy meeting tonight. Two and a half hours, enjoyed every moment. | ||

| So now Vino is out of the tour, blood doping.
I've been watching some of the mountain stages, and enjoyed it, but every time I see someone climb really well, I wonder how much they are doping. It's not a question of whether they will catch anyone else, just who will be next to go. And they say golf is pure. Yeah, right.... | ||

| Meant to get out late afternoon, but I seem to have fallen asleep, so I finally headed out after dinner, and right after a large serving of ice cream. Good rogaine training. You never know when there might be ice cream available on the course, and being able to eat and keep moving has to be trained. And with my rogaine partner training first in Italy and now Austria and soon the Wild West, we should also be ready for pizza or sachertorte or T-bones (not to mention all sorts of alcoholic beverages).
39:54 up to the top of Toby, walking fast as possible, definitely feeling the pack, heartrate 170 at the top. 23:48 back, jogging easily, getting quite dark. Left quad felt like it was starting to seize up at one point, but seems mostly ok now. Too much golf? Speaking of which, brilliant teamwork with Gail today, 66 including seven birdies, probably the best I've ever played and she was putting lights out. Ausgezeichnet! | ||

| River Road / Old Deerfield loop, just got caught by light rain the last few minutes. Good effort.
Had a very nice weekend in Vermont, though no training. Behaved myself pretty well, though it is always easier when things are going well (as they were on Saturday) than when they are going less well (as on Sunday). Also a nice long talk with Vivian and Mike after dinner on Saturday, the part of which that I remember most distinctly was at some point there was a question put to me of a somewhat personal nature, I don't remember what the actual question was, but my answer started off with, "OK, I'll give you a serious answer." And at that point the conversation got much more interesting. Which made the weekend even more of a pleasure. | ||
