My new bike!

I bought my new bike today! It is incredible in every way. Full Ultegra components, Speed Play pedals, Profile Design T2 + aero bars and Reynolds Alta Aero Comp wheels. I am so very happy!

After I took it on the maiden voyage today, I just can't quit grinning from ear to ear! Tomorrows ride plan is 75 miles to really start to get to know the bike up close and personal.

Balance

A week from hell. That is all I can say. The first 3 days at work were horrible. I had a complete meltdown at the end of my work day Wednesday. The weather this week, absolutely crappy. All week it was cool and rainy. What is up with that? July in Vancouver is suppose to be hot and dry! My training goals were not met to say the least. In fact the only training I got in was a 2000 yard swim with Bonnie Monday night. Thanks for swimming with me Bonnie!

This week I was smacked up along the head with the fact again that sometimes crap happens and that I can only do so much. Maybe, just maybe, I wasn't suppose to train this week. At least that is what I am telling myself. I have to remind myself that I am well trained and that I am going to do well at the Grand Columbian!

Now onto the good news....... I did get a swim in this week! I started vacation Saturday and was able to spend the week-end with my Dad and brother Ron at a antique engine show. I am most likely getting my dream bike this week! Kuota Factor. Oh I can hardly wait! More to follow about that. A planned 60 mile ride Monday on the La Center route. I WILL RIDE UP ALLEN CANYON!!!!
