Sat 5/30 - Pulled my damn back and spent the rest of the day wondering why my bedroom ceiling fan has 4 blades and my family room has 5 blades. Missed the race Sun and spent most of the time jamming my thumb between my ribs to stop the spasm and breathe - happy birthday.

Sat 6/6 - Massaponex ride with Ben & Jose "El Gato" (as he bats me around on the hills like a cat toying with a mouse). In true Ben fashion, he dashed my hopes of a warm-up by going off the front within 3 minutes. I bridged up with El Gato in tow (cat chasing mouse he knows he can catch) - joined by Bill from Bike Fred and the 4 of us stayed away and rode hard. Hung for 40, then Bill and I got dropped and paired for last 7. I love my bike!

Sun 6/14 - Sun /21: In-laws over from across the pond and invited family down to the OBX. Surf Camp with my older son, who was on his feet everytime I looked! Although I spent quite a bit of time on a commercial gill-netter in high-school and can tell the difference between a dolphin and a shark, a black fin in the water still freaks me out! Brough the bike and still managed:
Tue 1 Hr Z4
Thu 1.5 Hr Z4 with terrible head-wind. A real slog-fest.
Mon 6/22 - 6/26: Sweep week in PG County, meaning 0330-1800 daily. Ouch. Dragged myself onto teh trainer on Thu for an Hr. Good guys 35, bad guys 0.
