Just Like Tetris
The guy at the bike store that showed us how to take my bike apart and fit it in it's case told us fitting in all the little pieces around the frame was just like a game of Tetris. Seeing as how I used to be addicted to Tetris on my computer (and Minesweeper for that matter) I should be good at making it work. Unfortunately not so much. Luckily I have a equipment manager extraordinaire to take care of stuff like that. Besides, I have to figure out how to get my bike pump in my suitcase... :)
Packing aside, I did 2 workouts today - a short 2000 yds in the pool this morning and then a bike workout on the trainer this evening. The bike workout involved riding hard for 3x4 min w/2 min rest. Last time I did this workout (right before Columbia) I recorded my ave MPH on the 3 hard parts as 21.0/21.0/21.4. Today I averaged 21.1/21.6/22.1. Well isn't that dandy?! But now my knee hurts (on my right side - not where I was hit). What the heck? I think I might have just twinged it a little while I was riding like a madman on the hard parts. I have tomorrow off in terms of training so I'm just going to ignore my knee until Wednesday at which point it better be feeling better or it's getting voted off the island. Seriously.
Good night!

Hey Beth,
I'm just catching up with things, and I wanted to say good luck this weekend. Wave hello if you fly over Montana/Wyoming, okay? Seriously, though, I hope your return to racing is as fruitful as you hope it will be. Be tough out there!
By the way, your post about your hubby a few days back was just really sweet. Thanks for sharing it and happy belated 5th anniversary, Beth and O!
Good luck this weekend!

Good luck this weekend, Beth! It sounds like you need to have a serious sit-down talk with your right knee and tell it to quit rebelling :)
Your post about O. gave me the chills - simply beautful.
