Hey bruvs. I've got a half marathon to run today. I just need to put the miles in so figured I might as well do the race. I don't plan on going too hard, but hopefully fast enough to win my division. It's an hour until the start and the parking lot is now full. Glad I'm early!

Have a day!

See my son play a soccer game. Might do a ride after or go to the gym. Ride would be better as rain tomorrow. I finally had a good nights sleep.

:wave:

Up. Didn't poop yesterday, which had me worried. But alas, those worries have now exited the body.

Riding with a buddy today and then we're having a little party after.

Early visitor. DSO lost her mind. It made the shared dumpster look small (bear proof so can't get in)

Going to the dump after I take a dump.

that is all
I finally got rid of that mattress along with some crap for the back yard.

I tried to start Frita, but that crap battery is dead. Debating on buying a new NAPA battery, or suck it up and get a lipo battery and isolator.

Today was good. Her friend that got hit be a car 7mos ago was cleared to drive and at the track.

Coaching was that her lines were pretty much spot on, but she needed to be more aggressive with her braking points. Next session, she bought back .15sec through correction.

She is exhausted though. The talk about fitness came up again. Greg was talking with a dad about natural talent vs. hard work. He made the point that he's seen amazingly talented drivers fail because they wouldn't work hard, and lesser talented drivers become amazing through lots of work. He's told Haley before that she has a lot of natural talent, so this was an unintentional shot, but hopefully she heard it. I called her on it on the drive, hopefully she learns.

I ‘ve been riding bikes since I can remember- literally. Raced pretty much everything except track. Bmx, cyclocross, crits, hillclimbs, xc, 4x, dh, 24 hr, etc., etc.

Today I learned that when I climb, I put the ball of my foot over the spindle. When I rip / descend, I center my foot. Never thought about it for a second in 50+ years, but noticed it today after reading the comment section on Pinkbike. Still not sure if my pedals are concave or convex.

I shinned myself with a pedal and while it hurt the pain was nothing compared to what happened when I was pulling my foot out of my riding shoe at home. My foot popped out and I heeled myself in the same spot I shinned myself. Damn near dropped me in agony.
