Tri

Beth had a really good day and took a solid win for her age group at the OC Triathlon Sunday!  It's a tough (hilly) international distance race and the course really shows who has it and who doesn't.  It was fun spectating for a change, especially T1 where hardly anybody knows how to get on their bike smoothly.  Beth is the type who trains all the time and only races occasionally, so it's especially cool to see her have a good result.  It's also good to realize that it's possible to just enjoy training and being fit even if you don't race often!  That's a little hard to understand for us cyclists, but probably a lot healthier lifestyle then feeling a need to race all the time. 

Things are staying busy at work and I'm up to about 2 1/2 weeks off the bike.  I was hoping to get some fun mtb rides in this week, but somehow strained my hamstring pretty bad over the weekend.  I don't even know what caused it.  Only about 3 weeks until time changes and then I'm not sure when I'll be able to ride during the week. 

At least I have a good one planned for Saturday...  If you're in the area come join us from the Quail Hill trail head at 8.  We'll hit a pretty cool route though Laguna Coast Wilderness and El Moro to the coast and back in about 25 miles and 3500 feet of climbing.  Tacos and beer to follow at Sharkeys...
