| Got into Sturbridge about 3pm, went over to the Sturbridge Host Hotel and registered, toured the expo and had an excellent pasta dinner. The Pan Mass has an extraordinarily smooth operation to cater to the needs of the 5000 or so riders. Very impressed.
Got back to the Goodrow's house (about 2km from the start) around 6 and prepped the bike making sure everything I wanted on the ride was with me and the rest shipped to Bourne on the truck. Rode around the neighborhood for a bit to make sure everything was in working order. Then a good nights sleep. |

Sunday Jul 29 |
| Run w/ Jackson 41:00 [1]3.55 km (11:33 / km) | |
| shoes: Adidas Response Trail XI |
| Late afternoon after work - really muggy, rumbling thunder in distance. Went out for run with Jackson but it quick dropped off into a hike on the old rail line, crossing the brook and back on SLR. First it was a side stitch, then tired legs etc... Maybe jogged a quarter mile total, walked the rest. Oh well - got outside and moved the legs a bit.
Going to be tied up with a conference at work all week so it looks like thats it for training for Pan Mass - though I think I might try putting the bent on the trainer and spinning for 15 minutes each night before I go inside and collapse just to keep the legs loose as it took a good 30 minutes for my legs to loosen up on yesterday's ride. |

| Bike - 'bent (bolton notch) 2:25:00 [3]49.4 km (2:56 / km) +375m 2:50 / km | |
| shoes: Slipstream |
| morning ride - SLR to rail trails. Legs really stiff for 20-30 minutes, then seemed to be fine. Very humid - pavement wet even though it hadn't rained yet. But rain is coming - you could feel it in the air. Legs seemed to vacillate between feeling strong and feeling depleted.
This time next week I'll be somewhere between Sturbridge and Bourne enroute to Provincetown on the Pan Mass Cancer Ride.
I'm still in need of a few more sponsors if anyone is interested in making a tax deductible donation to the Jimmy Fund to fund cancer research on my behalf. Go to www.pmc.org and click on e-gift - my rider ID is CM0205 |
