Raining, we need some. Various crap to do.

Off to the airport. Jesus, it's early.

easier said than done..try getting a millennial that is willing to come to work at 4:30 am.
Estimated tax payments sent...
20 somethings....no fucking work ethic i tell ya....
'Morning. 5:33 in my half ironman yesterday. 3900' of climbing on the bike (17.7 mph), and 1100' on the run (8:06 pace). Top 25% overall and in my age group. I'll never win my age group in races this big. I feel like I got run over by a bus.

Ragged cut off FTW!
On the aircraft. God I fucking hate airports. I will say thoght. Met my brother at Union Station. He took our car home and we rode the train. Convenient!
Yippee!
Looks like now's the time to ride?
, though I'm not sure about the "we need some" part. We've had plenty already. I hope this summer is not a repeat of last summer's washout.Have to admit though, the timing for it is good. I went to scout camp with my two boys this weekend. it was my youngest's (5 y.o.) first time sleeping in a tent, and it went super well despite the tent being too small (I'm going to need a 4-person tent). the weather was perfect, and the mosquitoes, though bountiful, weren't overly vicious for this time of year. still needed bug jackets (w hoods) and long pants to sit around the campfire, but it was cool out, and no one was excessively savaged. The boys had a total blast. The youngest was crying when I dropped him off at school this morning because he wanted to be camping... They rode bikes, swam, shot bows and arrows, climbed, played wildly, and just had a good time.
I got back in time for a quick ride before the rain set it. Managed a PR on a particularly rough DH track. In so doing, I beat a good buddy's time by 20 seconds (on a 6 minute segment). Neither of us take Strava seriously, but it's always good for a bit of banter! I'm loving the Vorsprung upgrades more and more every ride.
Rode into work this morning in the pouring rain. It's only 2.5 miles, but by the time I got to the office, my rubber boots each had about a 1/2 cup of water. Rubber boots and shorts aren't a great combo in heavy rain! I thought of wearing water sandals, but it was kind of cool out, so I opted for the rubber. I have to get my real commuter, the one with fenders, back up and running though. Swamp ass sucks.

- Woke up on the right side of the dirt again
- Morning coffee is strong, and delicious
- Listening to some new-to-me tunes on Spotify (KNOWER)
- Just found out the lower half of one of my favorite area descents is being designated bike-only and DH-only for a year trial
- Picking up new bike today after lunch, and it's an even day
Today, is a good day.
This is not insignificant.
(also, Dakota south will be bike only for the same period)
