Rode around 35 miles today at just under 20mph on a very hilly route. Blythewood Road to 321 to Cedar Creek to 269 to 34 to Syrup Mill and back to Blythewood Road. This is a blast to ride the OTHER way but Wes talked us all into riding it in reverse for a change....OUCH! This would have been a 23-24 mph ride had we gone the other way. Dropped my boys a few times but its hard to hold back the reigns on that new ride, super fast. We all finished together and Wes and I ran a couple miles afterwards. Greg, Trey, and Wes - enjoyed the company. They all will be strong this year once they, as well as myself, get in to bike shape. Just been to damn cold to ride outside much. Wes is really going to be tough in these time trials as always if he can hold it together for an hour at 25+. Its hard as hell to do but I got to give that old fart credit - he can ride!

Spent the rest of a super day with the family in Columbia (maddie's swim practice) and then out to eat and to look at new cars. LOOK at new cars, HOLY CRAP its been a long, long time since I have looked at new car prices. OMG! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

10 miler in the morning on the trails of Sesqui and a swim with Lori and Tripp. 24 50's on 45 seconds!!!! This is gonna hurt. Final time trial of a 500 on Wednesday before I submit a time for Parris Island. Actually we are gonna go with a 800 meter swim at a 500 pace and see if I can maintain that. Should make the 500 feel like a breeze!
