9 days...

9 days remaining guys. It looks like Boise weather is starting to change in our favor. Of course the water temp will still be cold enough to make us scream like a little girl. Despite that, I am looking forward to traveling away from the Sun and enjoying more seasonable weather.

The Swim Waves are up on the website. Good news, we don't have to wait long! Also, here is a link with a detailed map of the bike course.

It looks to be like a great ride!  Hopefully, the elevation won't play a factor.

Let the taper begin and we'll see you soon!

Oh yeah... here is what you will be seeing a lot of on  the Boise course... my backside!  Ha!

Great weekend!

Had a nice little Saturday.  Started with a 6.5 mile run at 6am followed by kicking some ass at boot camp.  I got a little nap in... so far so good.
It was Josh's birthday Saturday, so the fam went to dinner at Roy's (great restaurant).  The sushi was excellent.  After dinner is when it all fell apart.  I remember telling Nicole that if we go home now we can be in bed by 10 and be ready for a long ride in the morning.  Well, don't go to World of Beer if you are trying to go to bed early or get up early for long ride.  They have over 500 beers and it takes about 20 minutes to actually figure out what you want (World of Beer... why didn't I think of that?).  Cool place but knowing it's only a half a mile from our house scares me.  Needless to say we enjoyed a couple of IPAs and got in around 1.   We did manage to get our asses out of bed and got a 2 hour ride in.  It wasn't pretty but that's the price you pay for indulging in some hoppy goodness.
