Headwaters

Headwaters this weekend. Somehow, for some reason I'm racing it again. It's all cool - I was just looking forward to it being lower key this year.

Monday
7 mile run - legs are a little hollow from the 175 this weekend.
Ride to the library w/ Holly & Lilly -
Monkey Lights blazing on the way home.

Tuesday
1hr walk w/ Boo (AM) - warm / light rain
2hr ride w/ Bernie & Neil (PM)
2+ laps in the park after the monsoon
Same ride as the week before Headwaters last year
(minus Bernie's blowout last year)

Wednesday
8 mile (Anoka/Mercy Hospital) run
Medtronic Daycare 1year anniversary


Old Chicago for dinner and a Sam's Octoberfest
Starting to feel sick

Thursday
Woke up with a screaming sore throat
Ran 1hr at lunch w/Boo
(he went to work so we can drop he and Lilly off afterwards)
Drive to St. James to meet Holly's family and
drop off Lilly and Boo.

Friday
Worked from home (sore throat, stuffy)
Rode an easy lap in the park to test out
the race bike.
Rode the Waverunner a while.
Packed up and drove to Park Rapids.
Holly and I ate at the Countryside Diner (Motley, MN)
Beer then bed.

Saturday
Headwaters 100
Great weather!
Rode well, off the front a couple times,
tried to animate the race a little towards the end.
Two strong guy off the front all day.
Dave went down in the last corner. Ugh.
I guess that's just racing.
Ate, bougth towels at Pamida and scrambled for the resort.
Showers, beers, dinner.
TSH Solo presentation by Tim Case.
Team videos by Jay.
Great time around the fire with a
quick game of "Bob Dahl"

Sunday
Woke up super stuffed up with a little headache
Ate eggs, toast, hash browns and coffee 12 minutes
before the mountain bike race.
Showed up to the race 1 minute late (everyone was gone).
Rode the race by myself.
Didn't do too bad considering...
Packed up and drove to Itasca State Park.
Toured around the park on bikes with Jay, Jorge and Neil.
Saw the headwaters and dipped a rock for Lilly.
Drove back to Anoka and ate at Billy's
Drove to St. James to meet Holly's parents with
Lilly and Boo.
Home at 10:30, bed time!
Ugh...drove 8 hours today.
