8/17

Had an excellent weekend. We rode 54 miles on Saturday. Charley and I managed to finish in just over 3 hours. We almost made our goal. I think I dragged us a bit because I've had some tendinitis in the back of my left knee and it was definitely slowing me down around the 40 mile mark. I talked to one of the coaches about it and he says my seat is too high. Now I need to adjust the seat and hopefully that'll solve my problem. Just about everybody finished the ride. Only one person had to be SAGged and she had a migraine that was making her dizzy. It was a hot one Saturday morning but I managed to pump lots of liquid into myself and really had no problems. I'm so impressed and proud of all of my teammates. They are all at different ability levels but each and every one of them push themselves to their limits to finish these rides. We are riding for a cure and that is a great inspiration. I didn't ride the rest of the weekend but did spend some up close and personal time with an ice bag. :) The rest of the weekend I got to spend with my son. We went to see GI Joe yesterday and we both liked it. Typical action movie. Good stuff.
