Monday morning- Went to bed with it snowing. Woke with 5 inches on the ground. Stop snowing!!! I am going t be a snowbird early in life. February, March, and April.
Schedule- Boss and most of lab leave for a meeting Thursday and come home sometime next week. I have a lot to do this week, but no big experiments that will keep me in the lab for hours and hours. With the boss gone it can actually be a little more flexible. Love when they all leave.
Weddings- Just got a wedding invitation in the mail. Saturday August 16th. However much I love Polson I can't skip out on the wedding. Polson will be there next year. The wedding will not. Also, my nephew called off his wedding so now June 14th is available or at least another weekend for racing. I am going to look for another race to fill in somewhere.
The week highlights:
Tuesday- rode to the TT and got caught in a big storm. The TT got cancelled. Did my own. Just rode hard for 30-40 minutes. I didn't pay a ton of attention. It dried out and ended up being pretty fun. However, I have decided this is NOT the year of building mental fortitude or character whatever you want to call it. I have enough character.
Saturday- Swim- That was tough, but it is amazing how much you can get done when you are working at it. I did that whole workout in and hour and 10 minutes. At Masters I am lucky to get 2500 done in 1:45. It was a good workout to be honest with myself what my pace in a 1500 can be. Also, how do you come up with these swims? I envision you have a folder called swims and you open it up and cut and past it into the week. They are always so perfectly written and exact on yardage. Had to ask, have had that thought at the pool way to many times. BTW- I am super impressed with how you have worked with me on swimming this year. Your workouts work!!
Ride- That mental fortitude thing. I am sticking to it. Got all ready to ride outside. Went out for 2 minutes and came back home. It was cold and wet. Rode rollers for 1:30 instead. Am going to save my weather strength for tomorrow ride.
Sunday- Weather was better than Saturday. Sunny at least. Got out for a good ride with Lawrence. Went up Hyalite. The road is closed to traffic. Did the 10 minute intervals up Hyalite. I love, love, love doing this. Can't wait for some more before the road opens. Followed ride with a 30 minute run. Good day. Made some stew and polenta for dinner.
