Went for a little tour of the lake where one of the adventure races that I might do is going to be held. Plus, I wanted to make sure I could still kayak. And I can.

I finally made it to one of QOC's Summer Sprint Series events. It was 4 loops -- 2 long and 2 short -- on the campus of Univ. of Maryland. Most people only did two loops - a long and a short. I thought it was tons of fun. I love sprint courses on campuses, even if I'm not sprinting. It was a tad hot, though. Many thanks to Boris and Alli for hosting this one.

When I got there, it was very confusing about where you could park. I found a parking lot where the sign said campus permit parking Monday - Friday, 7 am to 4 pm, so I thought it would be fine to park in there. The gates were open and everything. But, I got back to my car to find a $75 ticket. :-(

I went back to check the sign, and in very tiny print at the bottom, it said "teacher permit required all other times." Drat.

This was an especially hard Tabata class.

This was mt. biking only because I was riding a mt. bike. Otherwise, it was like a road ride. I pulled out my mt. bike because I'm contemplating doing a few adventure races this fall, and I thought it would be a good idea to test out my ride. And that was a good thing...as soon as I began I remembered that my front brakes weren't working from before. Not that I was doing much braking today, but now I know I need to take it in for a tune-up and brake job.
