Team CBC Training Ride - 35 miles

Good ride - was fun - we got rained on - not too bad - Had a problem - tone of the screws on my left disk brake came loose - when I went to stop it torched the disk and bent it locking up the wheel -I had to remove the brake to finish the ride - this is the first time Turtle 3 had ever given me a problem - I was only going about 12 mph really glad this did not happen coming down a hill at 40 mph - otherwise a good ride -

Team CBC 50 miles Big Apple Route

Really good ride - beautiful weather - not even too warn considering it is the middle of June.  Turtle 3 ran beautifully no problems, I started with  he 17-18 mph group and did fine until about mile 20 after we picked up three cyclist from a faster group after that I could not keep up with the pace - we made a wrong turn and added 5 miles to the route but is was not a problem - when we got to the mid ride rest stop I had decided to return to the Traven but the 16-17 mph group got to the rest stop so I jumped in with  hem and was able to do that pace with out problem - so I did get to do the full ride and a little extra for a total of 55 miles - I installed the new mirror support arms before the ride to see if they would get in the way - they make it a little harder to get off but otherwise no problems - I will get the mirrors and computers mored to them before the next ride - I am hopping the will work as well as I hope -

Galloway Training Run #4 - 2013

Great run - yes we got rained on but not too much - at least it helped it stay coolest - this was our first hilly run and everyone did very well also we at very close to our planned average pace - i was a little worried either because I was not able to run during last week or because of running two halfs in the last three week but I did great - I really enjoy leading the Honey Badgers - next week 8 miles - no problems or pains

Good ride - beautiful weather - I was nice to do a CBC Brewery ride again - I had intended to ride with the 14-15 group but I arrived too late so I rode with the 17+ I was able to keep up just fine - the Bionx is still giving me so me trouble - I think it is a poor connection at the console - otherwise it is wonderful - no problems or pains

NCRC Inv. Half Marathon

Good run - Ran the whole time with Jon Turner - always a good time, Meri joined us at about mile 8 - was great to have them running with me I am sure it helped me push a little harder than I would have on my own - I was pleased to finished and am not unhappy with my time this is a very hilly half and it was very very muggy even if the temp was not real high - it was fairly warm compared to what we have been running in lately - they had said they were closing the race at three hours - was so very pleased to see the clock still up and running when I came in - 3 hours seemed very short for the hard of a route - very well done race - all support stations were opened and maned for us back of the packers - I ran the first 12 miles but walked almost all of the last mile - I think I finished forth from the last - nice not to be DFL today - Saw Bo, Brad and a number of other running friends on the course and Micki, Ivy and John at the finish - nice to be welcomed in by friendly faces - no problems or pains just still slower than I would like to be - good race -

Tobacco Road Half Marathon

Good race - I had a good fun race - I ran well if still slower than I would like but this is my best time this year and since I passed out after a training run about 8 months ago - I ran solo today - no problems no pains - I thought the race was very well put on we started on time and the water support was there and well maned - I did not find anything that was not done right - a very well done race - weather was very good and it was a fun run - I wore my kilt because it was St Patrick's day but mostly because I like wearing it  LOL - a good day!

Good race - I ran solo - I had a good race - ran the whole race - I was up at 6:30 this morning and on my feet most of the day before the race but I still did well - not as fast as I had hopped but still good - it was pretty hilly but that was not unexpected - it was really great running with so many other runners in Kilts - missed Bert, Meri Jon and Emily - did see Bo and we spoke for a bit, nice - I saw a number of other folks I know and that knew me -
