The week that felt like a month

So here I am, 9:34 p.m. on Sunday June 15th (Happy Father's Day, Nate!) reveling in the week that was ... or the 10 days that felt like a month. We just returned from a few days in New England, specifically in Boston for the B2B ride (sponsored by Harpoon Brewery) where we accomplished what I didn't even think possible. Ride 148 miles from Boston to Vermont (brewery to brewery, hence the name) in one day, keeping above a 16 mph average. Well, we did it in about 9:30 hrs, maintaining a 16.2 mph and I felt great for the first 93 miles, if you can imagine that. If we were to do it again, I'd certainly get friendly with more riders to form a pace group since after the first 50 miles, we were sort of on our own except for a few miles here and there where we'd manage to take advantage of a group already formed. My hands and feet are sore (tingling in my left pinky and ring finger...hoping it will go away) but other than the expected exhaustion that would go hand in hand with an endeavor like that, no worse for the wear.

As usual, I got distracted...and have now done my race report and posted it to the DC Tri Club site as well as the chicksonbikes site (http://chicksonbikes.wordpress.com)

The other thing we've accomplished is participating in the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon in San Francisco (held exactly a week ago today). Check me out with the Golden Gate behind me!!

Loads more going on...just flaked out on my 30 min swim for no good reason and will be making it up tomorrow.
