Tick-Tock

I suppose I am as ready as I can be for the Mountain Mama. I had my training down to a T but things just managed to f**k with that plan. First, Friday I had a case of what had to be food poisoning. I felt like doo-doo all day long, like a hang-over with out the pleasant prelude the night before. To top it off I had an invitation to a company function -- dinner and drinks.

That evening I got home and made myself try and stick to the schedule. I jumped on the trainer (it was raining) but only lasted 25 minutes. Knees hurt, stomach revolted. I got things ready for Spin on Saturday despite my doubts. Dinner was great, I had no "issues" aside from seven courses with wine pairings. Needless to say, Spin went bye-bye. But, I did later manage to get on the road for 20+ miles. The night was spent with friends celebrating the visit of my dear old friend and former room-mate Jeff. Nice time, dinner and not as late an evening.

Jeff and I were going to ride Sunday but the weather and general malaise kept us casual. It was to be my day of climbing -- I was a bit sorry to miss that. I got on the trainer late that afternoon -- rain again. Errands superseded my time at the office -- gotta keep the Nifi happy... #1 priority!

Monday -- up at 4:30, in the office by 5:00 (a.m.) Work, stress, work. HOA meeting then back to work til 10 (p.m.)

Tuesday -- same, but no return to work (thankfully) a 19 mile ride and breaking the bike down for travel.

Wednesday -- same, Spin tonight.

Anxious to get up to see the Team and culminate a long journey.
